And Harley Davidson too! I heard once they went after someone selling T-shirt quilts made with HD T shirts that had been bought so Harley already got their cut. That didn't stop them for unleashing their lawyer wolves on the person who lost all their inventory and could no longer sell the quilts. This happened about 8 years ago if I remember correctly. I believe they didn't cite copyright law but trademark infringement law because you are making a profit with an item that has their trademark (the classic HD bar and shield, etch) which is a whole other basket of apples.
This is why there is no HD fabric because no fabric manufacturer is willing to pay their license fees. If you find HD fabric, it is cut up sheets.
