I do believe in the concept of intellectual property rights... but I also believe there are limitations on what can properly be defined as such. A piece of cloth falls outside those limitations, IMO. Most assuredly I do NOT derive my moral code from any gov't entity, nor from any other organized entity... and as a result I'm generally considered to be a pretty decent guy. And I drive a VW, not a Fiat (HA!)

implications of this? Does it mean we have to buy undercovers from DC?
That's a little like Ford saying you need to buy your oil from the dealer (OK,
so Ford doesn't have a patent on the use of oil to prevent engine seizure...)
But seriously, if we install an undercover, is it "supposed" to come
from DC? <br>

<br>
DC has a patent on using bottom covers to control humidity. It's not about <br>
the materials is about intellectual property.</span></font></p>
