Ford banning images of YOUR car
I'm not sure how many of you have seen this, but Ford has banned the sale of calendars created at other sites of member's rides.
It angers me as I'm a diehard Ford man and I know many of you are too. It may be a minor issue in the grand scheme of things, but if I were in the market for a new car today, I'd begin my search somewhere other than a Ford dealership. 2008 BMC Calendar - NOT Available due to Ford - See Inside! - Black Mustang Club Forums The 2008 RHC Member's Rides Calendar is NO LONGER AVAILABLE * Details Inside* - The Rice Haters Club

Re: Ford banning images of YOUR car
Wow. I would bet a good chunk of change that it wouldnt hold up in court, but Ford has the $$$. They are going quite extreme with what their copyright covers. I know they are also going after businesses that use their name or any of their products names. I think FoMoCo has missed the mark big time.

Re: Ford banning images of YOUR car
BMC Calendars: Approved by Ford & For Sale! - BMC Forums - Black Mustang Club Looks like they have it resolved! Apparently it was Cafepresses fault, since they had previous dealings with ford and thought that ford wouldnt approve of their calendar. As it turns out ford is ok with it, as long as they dont use the ford/mustang logo.

Re: Ford banning images of YOUR car
Ford has to be okay with it as they really don't have any rights to claim trademark or copyright infringement. I have no real affinity for Ford Motor Company at this point.
