Scala Report post Posted January 17, 2016 If you want to stay out of hot water with trademarks and copyright laws, you may want to rethink the background image in that cover photo.......... Yes... I thought about it... This cosplay was inspired by Star Wars. I needed any allusion to it. Maybe there is some idea how to do it by other way? I thought to write in the journal about copyrighting of cover picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
