Justice Stevens: "The whole point of the first sale doctrine is that once the copyright owner places a copyrighted item in the stream of commerce by selling it, he has exhausted his exclusive statutory right to control its distribution."

Do they really think that would save their asses in court?
lol.. I did not even read the listing that close... Do we have any copyright attorneys on here??? It actually sounds to me like it would... depending...

If the person is saying they bought the licensed patch, and then sewed it onto another product... then they may have a case. If they made the logo themselves.. then they might as well wear those panties when they go to jail... cause they gonna get screwed.
