I really don't think that getting customized one-off sets of things like this for personal use pose any significant copyright concern for anyone.

[/ QUOTE ] I think by "one-off" he means getting a one production run made for personal use. Basically the impression i get is, they dont care im not hurting anyone or anything. They arnt gonna waste their time and money tying up their legal department with it to get me approval. The chip company is going to be making a profit either way, they arnt making money off the copyright material, they are making a profit off the service they provide. If i cant get this design through Im just going to custom design something else, either way they are going to make their money by providing their service, the design is irrelivant. I think the chip companys just dont want to get sued for printing something thats copyright trying to provide their service, based on that email I dont think thats going to be an issue.

It would be a different story if a chip company offered "limited edition doom chips" to the masses and marketed that way, thats making money off the likeness, and I think thats what id (or any other company) is trying to protect themselves against.
