    I think you are right - however when it is all said and done it would only be on display (for want of a better term) at the funeral which normally go for about an hour - the coffin will either be cremated or buried never to be seen again - If the AFL get narky about that - they have then lost the plot (no pun intended there)
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

      Perhaps the AFL think it's a dying business
      I've said that I want to be cremated to "disco inferno" and my ashes to be put in a replica of the GF trophy.
      Bring it on!

        Swans regalia would be fine, but fancy passing out as a Demon...
        He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

          Quite right. The AFL (quite rightly) do not wish to see funeral directors financially benefitting from the logo usage. After all, funeral directors will increase their prices for coffins with club logo's on them. There will be nothing stopping a family member attaching a club logo on the coffin once it has been purchased. By selling coffins with club logos on them would be in breach of copyright.

            I believe it would be a trademark violation rather than a copyright violation.

              I'll nominate whatever I damn well please for inclusion in my coffin. So far, I nominate a framed photo of Leo's mark, a six pack of VB, a fat joint, a copy of Otis Redding's Live in Europe on permanent loop built into the coffin, the phone number of this bird who let me do at least three illegal things to her and a copy of Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

                can you be a bit more specific?

                    Yep, that's more accurate.

                              I think this is a great idea. I have already made it known that my coffin is to be draped half in a Swans flag, and half in a Parramatta Eels flag.

                                So, do the owners of music demand royalties when a song is played at a funeral.
                                The AFL is being petty (as usual)
