Because 1. the fabric manufacturers and/or fabric designers or trying to limit free enterprise even if they are wrong.
and 2. even lawyers can be wrong. If you read the background of some of the examples on the www.tabberone.com website you'll see many instances of lawyers pushing for 'cease and desist orders' who are found to be wrong in a court of law, evidenced by the sited court cases.
Just two of the reasons this issue is so confusing for people.
