  There's a crafter at shows I do who makes licensed characters from Sesame Street, Disney......you name it.........Big Bird, Cars, Jack Sparrow, Barney, etc.............I have customers that ask me to make them and I say I can't because it would be illegal........this crafter makes alot of money making these characters........how can people get away with that?.......i'd be afraid of a law suit and who wants to fight Disney?

  If the other crafter is not using licensed products (kits, fabric, etc.) to make the characters then you are correct that what he/she is doing is infringement, however, the holder of the copyright or trademark is the one who must bring a cease & desist order or lawsuit against the individual. Unfortunately, there are many unscrupulous people in the world. I hope you will continue as you have to set a good example in this area.
