F**d
Everyone look at this!!! Very messed up. Go read about this on the site. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...18#post1085818
I clicked, and it's a bunch of posts about an admin watching how many posts there are and folks hacking off their tattoos.
So, I decided to go to the first post and it is about selling a calendar.
Perhaps some other link showing what this is about?

it's about ford saying they own the rights to every image of "their" vehicle. apparently the BMC tried to sell a calender with their car of the month winners, and ford **** blocked them. WTF don't the big heads at ford have something better to do.....like save the company?
Sorry for jumping in from a different regional section, but you guys are right- this is complete BS from Ford. They are specifically ****ing on the people that have been loyal and purchased the ONE VEHICLE that Ford offers and brings people into the showrooms.....
Ah, this is what is talked about.
Now, I remember Ford taking away the name Ford from business-oriented ventures (A friend, Torrie McPhail, had to change "Ford Parts Network" to "Fast Parts Network"), but this last is something else. It appears, if I am reading this right, that Ford says that they own the pictures that you take of your car. I imagine that it has something to do with business and raising a profit. I am speculating.

I should think you or any club can make all the calenders or whatever it wants as long as you're not making a profit off it. As long as you're not marketing the thing to Wal-Mart for example, or the club is raising money off it to turn a profit.
What you can do, if you want, is return a letter to Ford explaining that you are a non-profit club and the calender is non-profit.
Ford makes a product sold to the public and used on public roads, you can make pictures of them all day long.

I've talked with people in other mustang forums and some of them say it is Cafepress. Not the actual club but the place they are selling the calenders from.
