A nice idea, but, leaving aside the issue of whether you could get them all
to contribute, I think it's a little optimistic to imagine that there are a
million air-cooled enthusiasts out there. A more practical approach might be
to apply PR pressure through the major clubs speaking for their memberships.
To that extent we already have collective power, it's a matter of getting it
organized and directed.

With every show we are in part working to build the status of the marque.
How would it look, for instance, if every car at the Classic this year had
its emblems covered or removed? And what if, say, USA Today carried a story
on it?

In the end I expect the most effective response will be to give VWoA what it
wants.  The ultimate effect of their copyright zeal can't be positive for
them, I say let them have the karma they're demanding. It's not as if
they're doing anything for *us*.
