John Deere fabrics, college fabrics, Disney fabrics, etc. Anyone know anything about this subject?

I am sorry if I hijacked this thread but am curious. Thank you for any responses. :D
The manufacturer will tell you that you cannot use their fabric for anything much outside of your own home.
The definition of copyright applies to the design, not the product of the design.

I think the judges just down't want to get into it.

I'm with you, I support the law wholeheartedly, but not everything we are told is the exact truth, but rather what the manufacturer wants it to be.
