Harley Davidson is also draconian in protecting it's logos and trademarks. I heard of a gal who was trying to sell or maybe displaying an HD T-shirt quilt at a large rally. keep in mind she had already paid for these t-shirts so HD got their piece of the pie at the original point of sale. She then cut them up and made the quilt, I think she was using it as a sample to make and sell HD T-shirt quilts for people who would give her their old HD shirts and pay her to make the quilt. HD people showed up at her booth and confiscated the quilt! Don't know if she ever got it back or not. I think her mistake was doing it at a big rally where HD had a presence. Had she chosen a small local venue like a swap meet where HD wasn't there, she would not have been harassed by them. As Dunster mentioned, these entities have very deep pockets. They will take you to court and drag it out until you run out of money or give up, even if you are within the law (of copyright and trademark infringement).
