Copy right issues

[Freelen]

I bought a CD with sports team logos and business logos in vector form. In order to use these logos do I still need to pbtain copyright permission from each team/business or does owning the CD give me that permission?

You need to obtain permission from the copyright holder.

Logo collections are sold as a convenience only to save you having to vectorize the logo. You ALWAYS need to have permission from the mark owner to produce it.

Here's a fairly understandable terms of use statement used by Brandsoftheworld.com that pretty well sums it up:
