IO9.COM - Looks like Fox is continuing to stir up trouble among the Browncoats. For years fans have happily donned their knitted tributes to Joss Whedon's falled series, the Jayne Hat. It's possibly the most popular piece of convention-goer flair. But it looks like it's about to get a lot harder to get a homemade Jayne hat, because Fox is attempting to shut down all rogue hat makers...

If Fox had shown some interest in Firefly when it was on, I might have some sympathy for their trying to protect whatever rights they might hold.
So, if there is ANYTHING I can do to make sure they don't get another dime off anything Firefly related, sign me up.

I have made them for over 6 years, the license seems to cover the term "Jayne" hat, so we need to call them "Maw Cobb Hats" or "Cunning Hats",...any body got any ideas for names for the hats? I will still make them, just not called that anymore,...

How 'bout " Not Afraid" hats? as in " Man walks down the street wearing a hat like that, you know he's not afraid of anything."
I'm mad enough to buy /make one, then wear it to a 'Con, with a "Dare ya , FOX!" sticker on it.
Maybe time for us all to misbehave.

Every time I think I can't possible hate Fox more and they do something new. I have long ago banned watching or having anything to do with Fox TV.

Sadly I'm guessing this is because people have bought a license to sell "Jayne hats". Those license holders are paying for this type of service. Otherwise they're just burning money. Kind of a double edged sword. Do we want more merchandise like that crazy detailed hand made model that lights up or do we want to just stick with the fan made works? Lawyers won't let us have both.
