Fighting Makers with Copyright Threat

Hey guys, just a little blurb and plug for Techdirt here: I wrote an article about how Knock-Off Wood was getting hassled by William Sonoma, Inc for copyright violations. Knock-Off Wood teaches you how to make furniture at home (great plans and detailed instructions), and some of their stuff kinda looks like Pottery Barn or West Elm stuff. Hence, legal nastygram.

Here’s the article I submitted over at Techdirt. No need to re-print here.
