Is it ok to create designs based on Movies, TV Shows or Bands?

Do I need to register my work to make sure it is copyrighted?

What about Trademarks and Intellectual Property?

In this blog post I will clear up these questions and more, so that you’ll have a clear idea of what is ok (and what is not ok) when it comes to creating designs for T-Shirts, and selling them online.
