The Chopper Builders Handbook is extremely active in preventing copyright infringements since we ourselves have had to fight literally hundreds of cases involving the unauthorized use and sales of our own materials over the last ten years and for this reason we understand what other craftsmen, artists and fabricators have to go through to protect their own original works. We will work with other builders anyway possible to insure that their rights are protected.
