I just noticed, the WCC logo has the VW Porsche emblem in it. I know from a while back VW was going bonkers on use of its trademark VW logo, suing or threatening lawsuits unless users (abusers???) paid up. It hit the VW aftermarket industry hard, real horror stories. Companies that even used photos of real VW cars had to delete the logo's from the photos, clubs also were hit, as were websites.
Maybe they have laid off, maybe thay just haven't noticed. I heard also that Porsche was going after trademark infringement also, but not to the degree that VW has, and we got both logos in the WCC logo! Anyone hear of this being a problem? |

Damn,
That is VERY dumb, but understandable.. It reminds me of an old law regarding fences being property boundaries... A few years ago my neighbor built a barbed wire fence about 100 feet off the property line..... After 7 years that fence became the new legal property line and basically the guy lost almost 20 acres of property because of it..... The real bastard was the neighboring land owner that was low down enough to take the damn property from him! It was no amazement when 40 head of the pricks cattle ended up being poisoned...... Its really dumb and makes me want to move to some deserted island! |
