I don't know if anyone on here is into this stuff, but the skatebook recently got in trouble for using bart simpson's likeness in an older copy. here's part of the e-mail I just received:
"First the bad news, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and its related entities (collectively "Fox") is sueing Skatebook for paying tribute too and turning Bart Simpson Pro, illustrating him ripping the most famous spots in skateboarding's history. So more than likely Skatebook is a wrap because of the legal fees and cost this suit will bring down on this non profit dig. Second if your selling this classic book Fox is demanding it be pulled from the shelf's and destroyed or else.
We will keep everyone posted on the case, pray for us that we can somehow survive the wrath of the Fox Intellectual Property Department, they seem to think Skatebook is a big company with deep pockets."
Seriously an unfortunate incident for an awesome publication.
