I copied your note and I am going to send it to the stores I shop from on line.
I will be asking them to post if the fabric is copyrighted, so as I don't buy it.

BTW....my favorite stunt of this type is when Mattel tried to copyright 'Barbie pink'.... don't know if they succeeded, i just think it's a hoot.....
