I cant get the zip d/ls to work i emailed them ages ago requesting A - F and got no reply from them. oh well :(
5120Disney is rather protective of who they let use their icons and characters. I see no licensing number or icon and certainly no logo licensing permission statement from Disney on this web page any place that says they have the rights to legally and properly sell / give away designs using these copyrighted images...
If I am wrong I hope someone can please correct me...where is their licensing statement?
If not then please be aware that even downloading these images / fonts is an illegal act...
Some people posting these designs may not know these facts...others my dodge the bullet by changing their url's to avoid being caught... Sooner or later tho... it all catches up with people...even if they are ignorant to the fact that they are distributing 'stolen' icons in their designs...and yes, even if they give away such designs for free it is illegal.
Prosecution for such infringement does occur...do people get away with it...yes, for a while sometimes.
Think about it like this, if it was your artwork, your livelihood, your characters, would you want someone else stealing and using it? The same laws that protect Disney protects us 'little guys' too.
Right is right... regardless of how some people may justify it.
Copyrighted Clip Art—Limited Legal Use:
"Some copyrighted clip art is not open to any public use. For example, you'd be hard pressed to get a legal image of Disney's® Mickey Mouse© for display on your commercial website unless you are a licensed reseller of Disney products. Legally, you can't even copy an image of a Disney character to make your own personal T-shirt."

They don't have a license as far as I know. I emailed them some months ago with that specific question. The answer I got was that they do it for free, that you are not to share or sell and you had to see it as a friend borrowing you something. In other words they DON'T have a license. And so it's ILLEGAL to download them, let alone use them. I recently had a talk with my brother, who's a lawyer, about it. He said that although it is illegal in the Netherlands as well, there is no active investigation, that's up to the copyright owner. But once cought the courts aren't very lenient.

Funny thing is on their homepage they complain about people sharing their embroidery designs, don't seem to understand that applies for someone else's artwork as well!
