Hard to believe the distributor has any say at all what the shop and/or the end user does with the fabric. While I understand and agree with the court decision you posted previously, I could understand the
manufacturer having a 'say' (although, obviously per the court decision they don't), I don't get how the distributor thinks they have any rights.
Not trying to start a major discussion here, just my opinion.
