If you noticed the news in the Ford section of this message board, you know that Ford just sued a bunch of enthusiasts for making a calendar of their Jaguars - I am not sure if they are both old and new cars. See: http://www.squarebirds.org/vbulletin...ead.php?t=3437 and http://xkedata.com/blog/2007/10/11/calendars-areoff/
I just noticed that Cafepress just took down all the old calendars I made and flagged all the images as possible trademark violations. I guess the Ford suit made them nervous. http://www.cafepress.com/sportsterror/959843
I pay a maintenance fee every month for that Cafepress store. Most of the sales are from calendars each year, which still does not cover all the costs.
This sucks. I am a proud loyal Ford fan, but his is ridiculous and makes me mad. My activity does not hurt Ford or its image or its profit; it helps.
I will seek an alternate way to make calendars. It will less convenient for me and may require pre-orders from you. There would only be one calendar selection this year too.
