Logo Infringement

["Warren Price" <warren16v@hotmail.com>]

I am not a lawyer, but I am a law student, thus I am not offering legal 
advice, but I will offer you my personal opinion. After reading the U.S.C 
section referenced by the attorney for VWoA, I would recommend that you 
remove the logo.  It is my belief that the statute is aimed toward those who 
would commercially benefit from use of the logo, but you may very well still 
be in violation despite the fact that you are not profitting.  In fact, at 
first glance, I would conclude that you probably are in violation of the 
statute.  I would question what compensatory damages VW would be able to 
collect or whether they would be willing to suffer the public relations 
consequences of battling a VW enthusiast.  Perhaps they don't care.  I would 
remove the logo even so, if I were in your shoes.  With that said, from a 
personal stand point I feel quite strongly that this matter is a stinking, 
festering pile of horse shit and though it may not do any good, I fully 
intend to draft a letter infroming VWoA that they have lost my business.  I 
drive Sciroccos.  This fact does not profit VW in any way I guess.  My wive 
however, drives Jettas.  New ones.  In the scheme of things, VWoA may not 
give a damn about loosing the 5 figures I planned to spend on a new Jetta 
wagon in the coming months, but at the very minimum, they will be informed 
as to why I will select a vehicle from another manufacturer.  In summary, 
piss on 'em.
