Re:I exposed "AI" logo makers stealing fonts by pbhjpbhj on Saturday November 18, 2023 @04:28PM (#38324663)
AIUI, typefaces aren't copyright in USA though. So, it would only be if they used a font (computer file) without a license, proving that would be hard; and damages would be (again AIUI) limited to actual damages which in a font would be what?, the number of letters versus expected use for a lifetime ... which would be <1¢ for even the most expensive fonts.

Is there any caselaw on click-wrap font licenses that exclude some uses of the font?

Can't you just trace the typeface and avoid using the font file and so avoid the license? You don't really need the hinting, etc., for logo construction because you adjust the kerning anyway.

Maybe you're not in USA, but reference to dollars suggests you are -- what do you see as the tort here?

Maybe some examples would help?
