Apparently Thomann decided to take legal action against Bud Cole's (Fender's CEO) cease and desist campaign.
Interested to see how the situation will evolve.

It's a shame, because I don't want any of the big 3 to go out of business, even if I wouldn't buy from them, but if any of them has to learn a lesson about re-evaluating putting quality before brand nostalgia and returning to innovating instead of recycling profit, it would probably have to be Fender, and if they don't stop playing legal games, they might waste enough money to trigger that education. Of course they'd probably just unload it onto another holding company.
