Ford says they own the pictures you take of your car!!

First off, there is a big difference between a copy right, and a trademark. Second a warranty is just a guarantee against defects, etc. Trademarks expire, just ask the drug companys, well in is no different in the car business, this is why you have companys like "year one" who can basically give you a complete car from the 70's. Second, once you alter you car you have effectively violated the trademark of Ford according to their point of view, as you have changed something that has their name, and symbol on it, which from a legal stand point alters the trademark. As for a gray area... How do you think lawyers make a living? The Law is nothing more then one big gray area. So all I can say is F$$k'em if they don't like it!

What do you expect from a company that's one step from bankruptcy. I've always said...I love Mustangs, but hate FORD. Next time you see a Mustang in a TV commerical or movie, and there's a bunch...you'll see that the horse has been removed from the grill as all FORD related emblems...unless it's a FORD commercial or the corp has FORD as a sponsor like American Idol.

BMC can still print that calender, they just have to photoshop all the logos and emblems off each car... no big deal.

I think Ford stole the mustang emblem from Pony Express circa late 1800's, looks identical, just no rider, but I swear that's the same horse.
