A thought struck me today, for which I didnt have an answer.
With every bastard on earth sueing each other for copyright
infringement, etc, how come any fucking guitar manufacturer
can blatantly release a Fender or Gibson copy ??
If Eddie owned Fender, can you imagine the lawsuits ??
When in the history of guitar manufacturing, did the first
non-original manufacturer release a Fender Strat or Les Paul
copy, and it was considered legally ok ?????
Its still going on to this day, so obviously there was some
landmark decision or agreement made that allows this
practice. Do these guys pay licesning fees to Fender/Gibson ?
Does anyone know ? I mean every Korean/Chinese 2 cent
guitar builders are making strats... WTF ???
If I was Leo Fender or Les Paul, I wouldnt want my
Intellectual property being misrepresented so poorly.
Whats going on ???
