THE COPYCAT'S TOUR

Computer #1 says: Knock, knock
Computer #2 says: Who's There
Computer #1 says: License
Computer #2 says: License Who?
Computer #1 says: No silly, you can't license a person!

People buy licences in order to use artwork or text on their products. The licence or aggrement to use the artwork or text allows people to use other people's work on their stuff. For example you see Backstreet Boy and *Nsync t-shirts everywhere but it dosn't mean the t-shirts are nessaserily made by that music group. They give other companies licenses to sell the images on a t-shirt, bag, poster etc. The next page is about counterfeiting. The people who make counterfeited items do NOT have licenses!
