FS: VW Commercial Tapes

What is a 1968 Beetle GLX??? There is no such thing.

Year two of University is when they teach copyright law.

Did you get legal clearance from VW to sell their commercials on your mix tape?

LOL!!!

Ahhh to hell with copyrights, this is Canada where Peter is from.... no one cares about it up here ;-).

Actually, There is.

In Canada, the Beetle didn't have Custom/Delux trim levels...they used letter designations. I have the birth certificate from VW, and it states quite clearly, that the car is a Beetle GLX.

meh....so sue me.....It would cost VW a hell of a lot of money to drag me into court...besides, I'm doing them a favour...if they didn't want the ads published, why did they send me a CD ROM with all of their most recent advertising?

You can take Psych 101 your first year and learn about how people rationalize the things they do.

lol

On a more serious note Volkswagen has been getting quite punitive about people selling VW logoed merchandise lately (past couple of years). Might want to think about that.

||There wouldn't be any logo's on it I would think, and it's hardly ||merchandise - if a company made a lawsuit against somone peddling their ||advertisements, that would be incredibly funny, I would think any company ||would want their ads to be played by any means possible!

It's not that simple. An owner of a brand must maintain absolute control over trademarked material of any kind, or the brand becomes worthless. They originator of the material has the exclusive right to any money made in redistributing it. Remember Napster? Produce that video and sell it at your own risk. It will be a crash course in civil law for you.

Before you LOL smartypants, click here:

thanks, but VW fired continental two years ago...furthermore, how can VW sue me when they gave me the disk?

I'm pretty sure they didnt give you the disk so you could repackage and sell it.

I'd venture to guess you told them you were in school doing a research project, and on that premise they were happy to oblige.

I guess you're right. Since VW "fired" Continental, then all copyrights are no longer in effect and they have no interest in protecting them. Furthermore, you should now feel free to copy their logo's that you got off a sales brochure (that they gave you) onto t-shirts and sell those too.

FYI moron...it does happen...go to any VW show...you think that people have paid VW to use a logo on a T-Shirt? No......and Continental can't do anything since they don't work for VW...
