It's not as if the logo was the element that sells the goods. It's the name of Ayumi Hamasaki that make fans buying them. Fans are buying and wearing goods to show to Ayu their support and their love. It would be different if we were talking about a cheap clothes shop that were selling a T-shirt with a pic or a design found on Internet and that this T-shirt was popular. In this case, it would be the design itself that make people buying it and the shop that were really making money off the author.
There are things in this world that are better and more important than money. The interest of Ayu for your work and the happiness that goes along with it, have certainly more value than all the gold in the world.
When Ayu used the fan video made by AHS members in her concert and didn't give credits to them in the DVD or money, nobody cried foul. I wonder why it is creating problems now?
