And now #Fender has sued the EU's largest music retailer #Thomann for copyright in German courts.
The "copyright protection" aspect is a partial error; a German court overstepped and issued an opinion about #Stratocaster copyright after a no-show from a Chinese company.
Thomann makes #HarleyBenton guitars as well as representing both Fender and most of its competitors, including #Yamaha .
