Everything that you see on liscensing said we are not doing anything wrong. Now the companies can try and tell us otherwise, and show up at craft fairs, but if they want to keep using money for this purpose, thats fine, but it will be costly for them and they will lose in court.
I think the point is that it's not costly for them; they have in-house lawyers and it's easy for them to send a letter and scare the pants off of a craftsperson. Whether it would hold up in court is a different story, but how many small crafts people have the funds to go up against a large company with virtually unlimited funds?
