LOL....and you still won't say who you are....not surprised.

I put the petition out here because I thought there might be people that wanted to sign the thing to support Dave's work. Just as I signed it. I didn't defend Volvo Corp for their position -- I simply explained WHY they (and others) take the position they do. It's clear based on your response that that's a bit too nuanced for you.

I also don't think the petition will change Volvo's position -- but I want to support Dave, whom I'm a customer of many times over. Sometimes you 'fight the fights' that need to be fought, not just the ones you think you can win. As for your friend Sony, sounds to me like you need to run for office on a platform of changing trademark law -- that's where the issue lies, not with the enforcement. There's that danged nuance again.

But -- enough of this distraction -- we're all free to do what we like with regard to Dave's stuff. I suggested to him that he rebrand all the stuff with "VOLVO" on it to "LOLVO", take advantage of the parody loophole -- something he was already thinking of. I think that's an even better way to respond to our friends at Volvo Corp.
