For what? Using Tie Die with Tiki? Or that the Parrot Heads are moving away from Margaritaville and going Tiki Time?

James Brown was at Tiki Oasis? Cool...

Looks like Munktiki could join in the lawsuit fun as well...(look at the back graphics).

Obviously there's some cut & paste job going on there with Derek Yaniger's Tiki Oasis III artwork.

Now the weird thing is the back of the t-shirt: Is it my monitor and eyes playing tricks or does the second picture of the back of the t-shirt say Tiki Time Tour "3002" instead of 2003?

I dont' think Derek would be too happy with his design being used without authorization.

Man, I missed my only opportunity to see Jimmy Buffet. I must have had too many mai tai's at T.O. III. Shame on me!

Yep, it looks like 3002 to me as well. Cixelsyd eb tsum yeht! Aaaah Ah Ah Ah!

Hey SCD, it does look like 3002 in the picture but I think it really is 2002. It's just the way it's photographed.

What I want to know is what the F' is that in the middle on the back, it looks like a bunch of parrots with sombreros??

...like, oh yeah that belongs!

That's a definate yes, on the Munktiki rip off. The guy was smokin too much dope to come up with his own stuff.

It's definitely a copyright infringement, but unless Munktiki and/or Tiki Oasis (or the organizers) registered their copyrights on the images, etc, then it's probably not going to be worth their time & money to sue, since they won't be able to sue for lawyer/legal expenses.

The need to register copyrights so that you have legal recourse was discussed a while ago, here: https://tikicentral.com/viewtopic-new.php?topic=3120&forum=1

So it is slimy, but it may not be something that can be pursued legally.

I sent this person a message through ebay to please stop selling the shirt. About 2 hours later I got an email from ebay, which was obviously fake, asking to update all my personal info or else my account would be suspended, reason being I violated some ebay agreement. Ive heard of these spoof ebay emails but till this day I had never gotten one. After deleting it I checked the auction again and the seller had already changed it, now its a mike tyson shirt.
The whole spoof email seemed kinda suspicious to me, very coincidental.
Anyways thanks to those who pointed it out to me.
