I just noticed, the WCC logo has the VW Porsche emblem in it. I know from a while back VW was going bonkers on use of its trademark VW logo, suing or threatening lawsuits unless users (abusers???) paid up. It hit the VW aftermarket industry hard, real horror stories. Companies that even used photos of real VW cars had to delete the logo's from the photos, clubs also were hit, as were websites.
Maybe they have laid off, maybe thay just haven't noticed. I heard also that Porsche was going after trademark infringement also, but not to the degree that VW has, and we got both logos in the WCC logo! Anyone hear of this being a problem? |

Both companies are filled with cock sucker lawyers making a cut to sue people over the logos..
I have gotten hate mail from both VW and Porsche.... It cost Porsche the sale of a Cayenne! What pisses me off is that WE ARE THE ONES PROMOTING THEIR new cars more than they are! When someone sees an old VW or Porsche they start recognizing more of the new ones and its all down hill for them from then on! I used to Have a Porsche flag outside my shop till they sent me the hate mail..... Sending them letters and etc will do absolutely NO GOOD at all. |
