Coolstub.com is owned and operated by Row One Brand. Row One is an American sports brand founded over a decade ago. Row One offers over 22,000 historic sports wall art prints in our online art gallery store powered by Pictorem. Pictorem is a premier art printing company based out of Montreal and New York.
Row One's unique one-of-a kind sports gifts and vintage sports tees are created from sports artifacts and creative works like the vintage tees and coaster set above. The historic college football ticket coaster set above is a 1931 Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan Wolverines Football Ticket Coaster Set. The ticket design has been in the public domain for almost 100 years because the creative work was published without a copyright notice in 1931. Under U.S. Federal Copyright Law, the ticket design can be reproduced exactly as it appeared in '31 and no party (including Row One) has to erase or censor any public university names or artwork appearing on the public domain work.
Team names appearing on all tickets describe who played in the game and are crucial historical facts.
Under U.S. Federal Copyright Law, Row One is not required to erase the public university names on the ticket describing who played in the game. Row One also has a legal right to sell historic sports products created from public domain materials like the 1931 Ohio State-Michigan ticket from Row One's physical ticket stub collection.
The ticket design is in the public domain and neither THE Ohio State University, or The University of Michigan, THE ticket company, nor THE original graphic designer owns this intellectual property, a creative work that could have been copyrighted and renewed, but it wasn't.
The historic publications Row One uses are in the public domain due to: 1. expiration of copyright protection for older copyrighted works, 2. non-renewal of copyright registration, or 3. failure to copyright the creative work at the time of publication prior to 1989.
Row One uses old historic cover art, game tickets, vintage schedules, old magazines, books, historic films, movies, cartoons, photos, illustrations, and paintings in the public domain under U.S. Federal Copyright Law to create our unique sports products.
Row One's historic products are not affiliated with, licensed, sponsored, authorized, or endorsed by any college, university, team, league, artist, athlete, coach, venue, other brand, or any licensing entity.
Row One respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects other parties to respect U.S. Federal Copyright Law regarding historic publications and creative works that include ticket stub art, cover art, books, magazines, films, music, cartoons, drawings, paintings, and photos in the public domain.
The 1950 Alabama Crimson Tide at Tennessee Vols football ticket below also is in the public domain. Why? This creative work was published over 75 years ago without a copyright notice and fell into the public domain under U.S. Federal Copyright Law. That means the art (entire ticket with public university names) can be reproduced exactly as it appeared in 1950 and Row One is not required to "black out" or censor the public university names that appear on the ticket. The ticket would have no historical value or meaning at that point and the team names appearing on the ticket are critical facts that describe who played in the game. Oftentimes artists would include descriptive words above or below their art to communicate a message or provide historical facts.
