This thread went around a while back when someone who was not a fan of VW
diceded to use the VW logo to cover only the most important bits of a naked
woman.  VW did go after this person but then sent a message to the Vintage
VW List about their actions.  The said that they have no problems with the
use of the name and logo on enthusiasts sites.  They did leave out a lot of
specifics regarding commercial and other similar sites though...
