The Indians and Chinese or most any 3rd world type business like to also come here and try to pretty much work the same way.  You will see a lot of “family” and friends get work visas and work in these places. Often for pretty close to the same pay as they would get over in their country. I have known and know one or two shops similar to this scenario. And some of those I’ve known will have no issues bootlegging. It’s so common in their countries. Part of business.

had a guy come in today wanting his golf cart wrapped in Harley-Davidson. I said no thanks, nothing I could do, copyright infringement, law suits, blah blah blah. He turned into a jerk about it, I returned the favor.....

I may or may not have turned in a local "CriKet Karen" business for making bootleg NFL apparel... I'm over it, 100k for a license and you're trying to bypass the system due to ignorance?, nope....

Sbrem:
We're the same, we don't touch it, no value in it, too much to lose, etc. Just because a customer doesn't "get it" is no reason to risk our businesses.

Years ago I had a customer printing the number 13 on black tees. They got a cease and desist letter from the nfl. I guess it was a dolphins/marino thing. My customer told me that is exactly what they were doing. I did not catch it though. I am not a big sports guy but even if I was I am not sure that I would have made the connection. I am not saying the guys in the article don't deserve to be punished but I think that not being allowed to print a number on a shirt is a little over the top.

Probably depends on the context on that. 13 is probably fine, it's probably not fine with Dolphins colors also or any other connecting reference.
