YES IT DOES, they sell designs just like the Great notions does, they must follow the courts rulings. Second the ruling has to do with RENTING design cards, not doing whatever you want. WRONG YOU forgot the court ruled rental ,leasing or lending. you can rent, lease or lend a design to anyone you like and they cannot stop you. Third, the decision was only that Great Notions was suing under a category of copyright that they had not registered the cards under prior to filing suit. THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MERITS OF THIS CASE THEY WERE TOLD BY THE COURT THAT THEY CANNOT CONTROL WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DESIGNS AFTER THEY SELL THEM, THEY DO NOT MEET THE COPYRIGHT PRESCRIBED CATEGORIES FOR REGISTRATION PURPOSES Fourth, the person WAS sued. That's hardly a scare tactic. SORRY THEY WON, IT WAS A SCARE TACTIC. SAY IT LIKE IT IS, JUST A SCARE TACTIC. Fifth, the defendant won what? The opportunity to pay a legal team for not just one court case, but also for an appeal? BOY TALK ABOUT A SORE LOSER. NO THEY WON THE RIGHT TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THE ITEMS PURCHASED. THEY (AND EVERYONE ELSE) DON'T HAVE TO FEAR FROM SCARE TACTICS FROM THE BIG DESIGN COMPANIES. Sixth, the defendant LOST her request and appeal to have her legal fees paid by Great Notions. SORRY AGAIN THE DEFENDANT WON THE CASE, HEAR ME AGAIN THEY WON THE CASE GREAT NOTIONS LOST, DON'T YOU GET IT. THEY WOULDN'T HAVE LOST THEIR WAGES IF GREAT NOTIONS HADN'T RUN THEIR SCARE TACTICS AND TAKEN THIS WORTHLESS CASE TO COURT. I SAY LET EVERYONE READ THE RULING OF THIS CASE AND THEY WILL SEE YOU ARE RUNNING THOSE SCARE TACTICS AGAIN :D =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
