As a Franchise Attorney I can say this. If you infringe on someone's copyright, you are liable and can be sued for damages. If the owner in fact has a legal copyright (you need to get proof from him) then you either pay now or pay a potentially much greater amount later. Consult with a good intellectual property or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
