Actually, that whole thing is in litigation right now! What are the rules at Cafe Press, can you use any image?

Nice find. About the copyright issue, I believe the creator of the original image is getting sued because he used a AP photo as the basis of this artwork, so Cafepress will print it, as long as the image you use isn't copyrighted.

[Image] From geekology, Remember the iconic 'Hope' posters used during Obama's presidential campaign? Ha, how could you forget, they're burnt into your retinas the way -- HEY LOOK AT THIS! -- my genitals now are. Well the website obamicon.me has been kicking it for a while, allowing any Tom, Dick, or Jane to make their own inspirational poster and message using a photo they upload. So go make one. Then post a link to it in the comments. But more importantly, hit the jump for a gallery of posters that are way cooler than the one you were going to make. Unless, of course, you were going to make one with a picture of me that says 'DOPE', in which case, yes, I am pretty fly.
