What requires a license and legal questions for product reselling

[ddzc]

Hi all and @Vigilante

I've compiled a few questions which I would like a clear sight on, and require some help and answers.

1 - Selling Photography and Images of actors/actresses and athletes (for eg, as posters). How would one go about selling such products? I see images/photos of shots taken in a movie for example being sold by many...is a license required from Universal Studios for example? If so, hows the best way of confronting them and the process in order to be grant permission to use such images?

2 - Bobbleheads of an actor or movie star - I read a lot about this and was told that you can't copyright an actual person or face and creating Bobbleheads for example of anyone is legal. Is this true or a myth?

3 - Is it legal to produce and sell products with country flags and symbols on them? For eg, world cup apparel and products or country flags.

4 - I was looking in to unique products with sport teams on them (NHL, NFL, NBA). I've already read in to this and it's practically impossible to be a licensee without a ton of experience and already being an experienced manufacturer or distributor. I doubt there's any ways around selling these straight from the factory, other than reselling them from a distributor where there's little to no profit margin left.

5 - This one is a big one as I've done a lot of investigating and I see this being done all the time on every product imaginable in the automotive industry and sold daily on ebay/amazon. Products being sold with car manufacturers names and logos. For eg, automotive carpets with "INFINITI" and the logo above it or valve covers with a car logo on it. Is this legal? If not, how would one go about getting licensing rights in order to do so.

Thank you all,
Dan
