Am I breaking any rules if I make and sell, for example, t-shirts with a "Metallica" logotype on it?

Hi Fierze. Trademarked logos aren't allowed in SL, and are subject to being removed. While I'm not a lawyer, I would recommend sticking to original creations.

You can see this for more details:

You can also use the Trademark Search page:

Hope this helps. :)
