It's rather interesting seeing two of my interests converge like this. I'm a Mustang enthusiast myself. My user ID is myltlpny, or My Little Pony, a reference to my Mustang. I've been keeping an eye on this topic on both BMC forum and the AllFordMustangs forum. The hysterics were, at times, laughable.
I deal with copyrite issues all the time in my line of work, and I'm sure many on this forum do as well. Ford's position was nothing new, nor was it out of line. The rumors and misinformation just escalated to the point where it became a huge issue for no reason. That said, I thought Ford's response directly to the forum really hit the mark with the enthusiasts and cleared the air. And judging from the reactions of other forum members was greatly appreciated. So, thanks, fomocona.
