Not sure, but theoretically there are International Copyright laws that do protect illegal use of international logos, products and such. >As the Type 34 was never sold by VWOA, it's actually an interesting question >whether it is considered their product at all. I'm not sure I agree with you there. The official name of the model is a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. and as such you are actually subject to being sued by three companies, not just Volkswagen. Hopefully this will not happen, but according to the law, they are within their rights to do so. then again, if you are not profiting from the company names or contributing to the (can't remember the legal term here) commonizing to public-domain use it probably won't hold up in court. but then AGAIN... can you afford the court costs? Ahhh... the wonderful court system... Al (NOT a lawyer.) ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
