I wrote Midnight Oil in the Powderworks font on my pencil case when I went to school in the 80s. ‎I didn't ask permission but there wasn't a day that went by where I wasn't nervously awaiting that phone call from Gary Morris and his lawyers.

When you are talking to Arlene, ask her about the boxset.

Why would you even want to ask about this at all? It's for personal use, 
you're not gonna sell it so why should anybody have an issue with this? 
I've printed my own Oils shirt before. I simply can't imagine why this 
should be illegal in any way...

Hey, 'workers!

I hope somebody here can answer a question for me, or put me in touch 
with someone with the Oils office (Arlene Brookes?) that can give me 
the official word. I'm wondering if it is possible to get permission 
to produce a single item of clothing for personal use with the band 
name on it. I live on literally the opposite site of the earth from 
Oz, so there's no Oils merch locally, and I have never seen the item 
of merch I want for sale online, so I'm hoping to get permission to 
make a one-off item my own. All I want is a black baseball cap with 
the band name embroidered on the front, plus the hand logo. I suspect 
this will be shot down immediately, but I guess it never hurts to 
ask... :-)

cheers,
Mike Blackwood
