I have to argree with Pam, get legal advice from a lawyer if you are worried. In the website it also said to document, document and docuement so you can defend yourself if and when you are sued. Sounds to me like the companies don't agree with us that we can use the fabric since we bought it. I will continue to bouycott licensed fabric. Just my 2 cents worth.

Just to repeat, we're not lawyers and we sued Disney and MLB, Sanrio, United Media on our own.

A bit after we were through with all these companies (we had gone through everyone whose fabric we were using) the Stanford School of Law used us as a class project. They provided us with a sample suit and a motion for summary judgement which are on the site.

A seller I know who got shutdown by Laurel Burch used the Stanford law suit and backed down Laurel Burch.

I read the article. I think it basically means you can use the fabric you purchase for whatever you like. You cannot reproduce the fabric and sell it as your own (for example taking a pictue of it and sending it to Spoonflower to have it made). Then selling it as your own fabric.

Thank you for researching this issue and finding answers. This is very informative and certainly puts to rest much of the concern about selling items made of licensed fabrics/copyrighted fabrics.
