Crossposted from a /req/ thread (http://4-ch.net/req/kareha.pl/1155783400/20 -- HTML anchor tags, still present there, removed due to overzealous spamfilters), which has not gotten any replies in the week since I posted there:

What would people say to the idea of 4-ch merch? I've been wearing the organic fitted tee version of this one for a couple years by now, but why not open an official shop on some printing site like Zazzle, Spreadshirt and/or Cafepress to help pay for hosting bills?

Also, am I correct in my assumption that I don't need to ask permission before I print DQN-kun AA onto a shirt for myself? How about if I want to sell one with "http://4-ch.net/dqn/" printed on the front, and said AA on the back? Or DQN-kun bumper stickers? Do tanasinn.info and/or SAoVQ have any official merch outlets and/or plans to start them?

What would you fine people say to the idea of wearing/using Channel4 BBS-themed t-shirts, hoodies, tracksuits, raincoats, vests, boxers, keychains, coasters, posters, dakimakura (my single greatest idea to cater to SJIS Art fetishists yet), tote bags, bumper stickers, button badges, etc.? What about print-on-demand collections of your favourite threads?

I would also like some official input from 4-ch mods and/or admins regarding permissions and where to forward any resulting profit.
