In this case, it struck me last night that VWAG may have decided that the best way for them to protect their trademarks would be under US law and to let VWoA be the plaintiff. This would make sense if US trademark law was the most protective. It also "insulates" VWAG from criticism. Going after transgressors on the internet probably doesn't have anything to do with the country of origin of the web site since the internet can't be stopped at the US border. This leaves open the question of what VWoA could possibly do to someone in Romania, for example, even if they did win a US court case against them. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
