I thought of starting an online petition, regarding the repurposing practices in the DIY/craft community. I follow several CBG Facebook pages and groups. Once in a while, someone posts a pic of a Jack Daniels tin guitar. Someone usually brings up copyright laws and letters that folks have recieved about this. If there's anyone who haas experience writing online petitions, that go to Washington, after a certain deadline, let me know. If anyone is interested in this, let me know. We can all work together to fix copyright laws. Thanks.

Ouch! That took awhile to figure out...

Niiiiiice.  You be here all week?

Try the veal, and don't forget to tip your waitress.

There is a lot of good advice in this thread. Eric, Pick, Kid and others nail it on the head. My view on it is that I'm gonna keep making instruments out of upcycled trash (packaging materials whose original use has been fully exhausted, like cigar boxes, oil cans, etc) and stay away from commercially licensed stuff. If I get a Cease and Desist over this, I'll fight it with every resource I have.
