Thank you, Cari, for going to the trouble to post this. But it will make no difference to some people until they have to pay a huge fine and lose their expensive machine in a lawsuit by Brother. As I posted before, Mickey Mouse, etal are not that important to me that I would take any chances...I have too much invested. Those selling illegally are lucky-until they get caught. You can't fight all the lawyers that Brother Corp. has on retainers!
