RE: Logo Infringement

["adam lefevre" <adaml701@yahoo.com>]

I wasn't going to get into this but I have to now...

1 - You go Dirk! I'm behind you 100% and I think that we all are!

2 - I have a custom vinyl graphic already made for my scirocco's rear window
which is my own design based on the V over W logo. It's going to be put on
my car when the bodywork and new paint are finished and that's that.

3 - I have a plastic model kit of a VW Beetle and on the box they say
absolutely nothing about VWoA, but they do mention VW AG. I also have one of
a New Beetle made by an Italitan company which doesn't mention VWoA or VW AG
anywhere.

4 - I own a book about beetles called "My Bug" and it has stories told by
beetle owners as well as artwork. Oh look, the V over W logo in art form.
The only mention of VWoA is for an article and the credit says "reprinted
with permission of VWoA." Nothing about the artwork or logos that I see.

5 - My girlfriend got me an airbrushed shirt with the VW logo on it...I'm
wearing it.

If VWoA doesn't like it, too damn bad. "Volkswagen" means "people's car" and
WE'RE  the people, right? Without us - the owners and drivers - where would
they be? This is all just some lawyer with nothing better to do trying to
make more money. IMO VWoA shouldn't have any say in the matter. VW AG is the
head - in Germany! - and should say what goes and what doesn't. Hopefully
they will.

Thanks for letting me vent people.
Man, I feel a lot better!
