I just got into work, and it seems that Gary has taken the day off so I'm not under huge amounts of pressure today, so I'll just do a few bits and peices and I'll then I'll get going on a few stickers at about 2pm.

So if anybody wants to add anything before I get going... now's the time!

Good enough for me...
i could give you another dozen reasons why it isn't a problem... a few years back McDonalds took a cafe to court over using the McDonalds "M". They lost, the judge slaged them off (he said that the cafe didn't bring the name into disrepute as they were a much better class of establishment!), it was a huge PR disaster, they lost the power of deterant - it's far better to have everybody scarred and throw threats around than actually go to court and risk losing. The whole thing is a no-brainer really.

Well I for one would like a rear window decal, so in your own time if you can provide it, I am more than happy to purchase one, and pay the postage!
I wonder if there are any other Clio owners that would like one?....Or do we post a thread and see what the situation is first?
I'm just going to do a load of assorted stickers and send them to Selwonk, he can do with them as he wishes... give them away or sell them, or both. I'm afraid I can't really spare the time to deal with individual packages.

Did OG make a post and then remove it?

I only got a chance to skim read it, I was going to reply!

Basically, you have already taken your biggest chance by using the Renault logo at the top of every forum page. Thats far more risky than the stickers... and thats no risk at all!!!
However, in America, so forums put "the unofficial fan site" just to avoid litigation.
Luckily, in Europe common sense still plays a part in the civil courts. Unlike criminal courts, they are NOT there to punish... they know they are there to 'settle disputes'. The first question the beak always askes the claimant is "what steps have you taken to settle this dispute before bringing it before the court?"
If they say "none", they are in big trouble, especially a huge company with corporate lawers which really should know better. The judge would probably throw the case out.

So before you go anywhere near a court, they have to try and settle any dispute which would involve asking you to stop using their logo or change it. Unless you dispute this request, you will never end up anywhere near a court.

Even if you did end up in court and lose, ... You have no money, Renault don't need your money, the judge knows they don't need your money, so the worst case is that he will tell you to stop using the logo.

In short there is no risk with this.

Further more - unless Renault do have an official forum, then you are not in competition... so no problem.

Even if they did, courts see competition as healthy so it probably wouldn't be a problem!

Thridly, there is no money involved, so you are not depriving them of revenue. Even if you did earn a couple of hundred thousand, this sort of money is hardly going to sink Renault's boat!

Believe me, I have been through this many times before, Iv'e been in court many times, I have research copyright issues, sought advice from lawers and govenment agences... it's just not a problem.

I did post mate but I was doing two things at once and by the time I'd submitted it you and selwonk had both posted and it wasn't as relevant so I binned it!

The bottom line is that we don't make any money out of this, infact it costs us money so why take a chance - simple as that really, I don't want a load of hassle. If I got a letter off Renault the site would be over becaue I'm not going to pay for the privilege of aggro!

You are a star man for offering to do the stickers and if you are good enough to do a few for certain people who want them then that is great and you can put anything on them you like - I won't slap a C&D on you for using www.renaultforums.co.uk ;)

That logo at the top by the way is taken from a picture of my Espace - so it's mine not Renaults, I paid for it ;)

Ah,

Yeah, I can do that... but I didn't do the stickers in the end because there was some dispute over them.

...and have decided to go home early and the WIFE is expecting me now. (It's going to take a while to get used to the 'wife' thing).

I'll knock up some designs tommorrow. Just end me your address by pm or e-mail.

Hi!

I've sent Clean_Image my address. I'll let you all know when I get the stickers. Once I know what is available I'll update this thread thingy and if you just let me know what you want I'll put it in an envelope for you...

I got some decals a few weeks ago for a minimoto site I go on (the kids have one), from The Vinylstore Delivery was pretty quick, and quality was good.

The ones I got were individual letters that peel away from a backing. They did them to fit outside or inside. The site seems to be down at the moment due to moving it says, but it was working fine a few weeks ago.
