Ian MacKaye is aware Urban Outfitters is selling Minor Threat t-shirts and is cool with it. MacKaye was contacted by Washington City Paper to get his reaction to his band's shirts being sold at UO. MacKaye told the newspaper the shirts are being sold with permission (the shirts are licensed) and he's contracted an outside company to deal with t-shirt merchandising/licensing because he doesn't have time to chase down bootleggers and all the other assorted drama that comes with it. He did tell Washington City Paper that the whole idea of Urban Outfitters selling the shirts (and for 28 dollars) is "absurd" but "that's what motherfuckers want to pay for their shirts."
