FedEx accusing box-furniture maker of DMCA violations
Jose Avila makes stuff from old FedEx boxes. Somehow
FedEx thinks this is a DMCA violation:
Jose Avila has always been a FedEx fan. He uses Fedex for all his shipping needs because he considers the packaging to be a high-quality, sturdy product, and the shipping service to be superior to competitors. So, when financial hardship inspired Avila to build furniture from FedEx packing materials and post photos of his antics on his FedexFurniture.com website, he never expected FedEx's legal department to come after him. "From day one I wanted to be pro-FedEx and give some support to FedEx while at the same time displaying the artwork." Avila said, with noticeable disappointment over FedEx's legal reaction.
