I completely understand. I'm obviously not a lawyer, nor an expert on copyright infringement by ANY stretch of the imagination . . . and I actually thought of this while "speaking" to this guy (a few email volleys) and checking out his website. In all honesty, I'm VERY surprised that he hasn't been slapped with a C.A.D. order - he's got TONS of logo decals that he cuts himself. Everyone from Alpine, Denon, Fosgate, VW, Clarion, Hot Wheels . . . TONS of 'em! ALL great reasons why I am glad that (listen up all you lawyers out there) I am in NO WAY affiliated with this guy! So, uh . . . I can still (ahem) buy the sticker . . . . can't I? :o) -Matt '90 GL "Blackbeard" I can personally vouch for what Kathleen says below. In the late 90s, Rex Eastman of Vintage Wheels fame made the same type of "Hot Wheels" Sticker and both he and I (I was selling them at VW Shows and online as well) were hauled into court jointly by both Mattel (owner of Hot Wheels) and Volkswagen for this. I can assure you this was not and is still not licensed and they will come after the maker with a vengeance. He will not last long doing this. I'm still smarting from the legal fees :-(
