Brian's message seems to be similar in general flavor to one that came my way earlier, but they seem to have started to define what they plan to do. The new message contains this url: http://vwlicense.ipprotector.com where there are drafts of various agreements. One interesting thing is... ''Licensee is permitted to display images of Volkswagen vehicles on their website and documentation provided those images were not taken from the official Volkswagen website, vw.com, or other Volkswagen copyrighted documentation.'' Hrm... so what about something like an owner's manual, accessory brochure, or a scan of a print advertisement? (Or, are these o.k. as long as they don't show *vehicles*?) If you go super-literal on this, a picture of a show car with the owner's manual displayed in the trunk would be off-limits... but I don't believe that was intended. Any lawyers in the house? Hopefully this will all work out in the long run -- I hope that VW is just trying to CYA in case people put up unfairly damaging/misleading sites, rather than trying to go nuts and put a tight grip on how folks share info about their hobby. -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
