The fabric was not reproduced; a picture of the fabric used in a quilt was printed. A use for the fabric was shown. If we carry this argument to its idiotic conclusion, if you buy yarn and knit a garment with that yarn, you could not sell it because the yarn is copyrighted.
Come on! most judges, most juries and most people have at least a little sense. froggyintexas
