Re: [T3] VWoA: my thoughts


<x-charset iso-8859-1>It's difficult to show you are protecting trade marks etc if you then allow
all these groups to use them without penalty or permissions.
I think they just want to regularise things there.

If they threaten to hit us financially when we're not making money out of
the use of the trademarks, they look like bullies, so I don't think for a
moment they will take action against enthusiast websites.
Hence the invitation to take part in an enthusiast program to avoid the
problem.

Now commercial companies making money from using the VW logo to sell
after-market parts are legitimate targets.  Of course, it is much less
reasonable if you don't actually make that same part any more!
