What is the name of your state? California
Ok, I am a member of a club. The club's name is copyrighted. I am making a calendar featuring various members of the club. I am being careful not to outright use the name of the club, but I am listing the participants' member numbers (the club members kind of make a big deal out of their numbers and like to display them). The calendar is comprised entirely of members and sold primarily to members.
1. If I put in the calendar "**** (club name)#12345" (in other words, the name of the club and the number), and I mis-using their copyright?
2. If the above is yes, what if I leave out the name of the club, but just use the number?
3. I am not using any of the club's resources for this project. Given the above information (and I'll supply any other details necessary to answer my questions), can the club take any recourse against me for producing this project? I did this last year and it was quite popular, although only about 200 of the club's 40,000 or so active members really knew about it. I'd like to advertise it in the club's newsletter without getting in trouble and without them demanding some sort of royalty.
Thanks for your help!
