Legalities of reproducing arcade art?

While I feel your pain, your rant reminds me of the "try before you buy" software shops in the 80's.
I signed a few of those waivers.
;)

Yeah, oh well to them I guess, i'm going to probably try out thisoldgame.com instead. I really wanted to give my business to a local shop, but they just won't do it.

I wouldn't get too mad at the local guys. They're just covering their asses. The last thing they need is some overzealous corporate lawyer coming after them because they printed a copyrighted item.

I really do feel your pain ... I have a print shop that I have used for business and personal printing for years. They won't print anything close to protected.
And I don't blame them.
Nobody is coming after me for the Purple Ghost on my Pac Man Art (Knievel, I'm looking at you!), but you can't expect anybody to lay themselves out over $10 profit with a waiver that doesn't actually mean anything.
Is TOG doing custom inkjet stuff now ? Might be an excellent option.

Why yes, yes they are.
