Spooks merchandise

[DogSoSmall]

I'm feeling frustrated now. I emailed the mug company for clarification on why they wouldn't print it and they said this

"Unfortunately, one of your products has been cancelled because it contains content that violates Peter Firth’s rights of celebrity/publicity.

Generally speaking, we cannot fulfill any orders containing a copyright or trademark protected title, name, or image. Examples of infringing material include:

--pictures or names of celebrities
--names of characters from books, films, or television shows
--titles of books, feature films, television shows, or magazines
--images from films, television shows, video games, or the internet "

I thought it was pretty cool that they recognised Peter Firth, so I'm thinking this is a very nice company! However, it means I'm getting nowhere.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether 1) PF would mind being violated or 2) if not, whether there is another avenue I could try?
