On page 53 of the August Super Street issue, Import Trenz used my car to advertise the Invader kit without my permission. Is there anything I can do about this? I don't want to be a dick and sue, but should they owe me something in return? They did afterall steal a picture of my car and use it without my permission. Let me know what you think guys.

nooo, I think its called using so and so of someones to endorse something without their permission, that is illegal, they are making money off something you created. its like music, videos art and intellectual stuff, spread it around for free but when you start making money off someone elses work thats were it gets illegal.

They are obviously making a profit off your work, Call your lawyer if they dont work with you, eerrr id call a lawyer first before talking with them.

remember you car is your art its your intellectual property and its all yours

The difference between makin money off of music, art, videos and other stuff is the fact that all that stuff is copyrighted or the musician or whatever is under some kinda contract not to have their stuff duplicated or endorsed without their permission. In this case it is completely different from this since he isnt under some contract or copyrighted obviously...but i agree with everybody else when they say that u should get somethin out of this and thats friggin awesome that your car is shown in Super Street. tongue.gif
