So a buddy of mine was telling me today that since Ford didn't get any government money that they're filing lawsuits against any and all websites (and I think companies) that has anything Ford vehicle-related words in their names, ie model names. They're suing for up to $10K for misc sh!t and $5K for copy-right infringement. A forum he frequents (TheRangerStation.com), the admin received a personal letter from Ford saying that he was being sued if he didn't remove all mentions of Ford related items within 10 days. The members in West Virginia or somewhere on the East coast made a stink about it and ended up on the news, so Ford lifted the lawsuit, but there's still a pending lawsuit: the selling of stickers/window decals that says TheRangerStation.com on them which could cost TRS up to $10K. So far Ford has won quite a handful of these lawsuits and are still going. My buddy said the last thing he heard was that the people/company that started the whole "Calvin pissing on the Ford emblem" got attacked and ended up forking over $9.5K to Ford. $5K for copy-right and $4.5K for misc junk.
