Ann,
Actually the technology does exist. They showed something similar on
Project Runway this season. Virginia Commonwealth University had a massive
machine that did this when I taught there in 2007. The instructor scanned a
textile and reproduced it in no time flat.

Subject: [h-cost] Brocade and Fair Use
Okay, let's try this one more time. Suppose someone bought a yard of
your
custom-produced brocade, and using technology (that admittedly probably
doesn't exist yet) scanned it and starting producing their own brocade, in
exactly the same pattern, and selling it. Would you regard that as "fair
use"?
