[QUOTE="REX-RACER, post: 3707054, member: 14222"] Dude, I understand what you are saying and I'm follwing your argument but at the end of it all I just keeping saying to myself, "So . . . ?" Someone might want to answer why this is so important to Ford in 2006 vs. 1979 when Ford, w/ copious help from the aftermarket industry, pulled the Mustang back from the brink of extinction ( pun intended ). Back then the aftermarket was Ford's best friend and that unofficial partnership has helped put as ALL where we are today. So in recognition of that Ford is now suing the aftermarket parts suppliers? Nice! Yes, there is probably a legal precident and context for these actions by FoMoCo, although I'm still a little fuzzy on how you copyright the name and likeness of a wild horse. If Ford is so concerned about copyright issues perhaps they should change the name of the car to something unique. No one would dare try to contest the Shelby name since it's clearly unique. Damn it, carrots work better than sticks if you actually wish to maintain and strengthen relationships that have proven beneficial. We get it, but there's a difference between book law and practiced law. This frankly seems like a bad case of the former trumping the latter and in my opinion it's going to be counter productive. The C6 is lookin' pretty good right about now . . . [/QUOTE]
