So why stop now??

The problem is not the band being precious. If you take a photo, recent
copyright laws gives the photographer the copyright..
I need not explain the implications of that.
As to the dodgy T-shirt, how many dodgy T-shirts have you seen made by folks
with their own pics? If someone goes to the effort
of printing T-shirts, they generally arent dodgy. Free advertising or loss
of income?? Not to mention posters, black market CD covers........
