Rätt till att trycka bilder på artister på kläder?

Hej!

Jag har tänkt att trycka tröjor med bilder av förhållandevis stora artister och sedan sälja dem (som ett företag, inte privatperson). Bilderna är tänkta att vara skapade med ett datorprogam, dock med en, kanske upphovsrättsskyddad, bild som grund. Jag undrar om jag får göra detta?

Vad jag förstår skulle detta kunna bryta mot varumärkslagen och att man betraktar artisten som ett varumärke. Har dock läst större delar av varumärkslagen och har inte hittat stöd för ett förbjud att skapa en bild av en artist och sedan sälja den, i det här fallet som tryck på en tröja.

Tacksam för svar.

För att använda en persons porträttbilder i kommersiella sammanhang fordras tillstånd av personen. Artisten skyddas här av lagen om namn och bild i reklam oavsett varumärke. Det räcker alltså inte med enbart upphovsmannens tillstånd.
