  1. If you have a company facing bankrupcy, sales are going down, what is the first thing to do? Right! Send your lawyers to the only loyal fans you have. So did GM. TeamBuick (www.teambuick.com) got a note from its shop (CafePress.com), that their use of the GM logos and emblems - like Buick - is not allowed and they won't be able to supply Buick fan stuff anymore (T-Shirts for example). Maybe the TeamBuick Forum itself will get the same message soon. Here is the original text: <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Dear Shopkeeper, Thank you for using CafePress.com! In accordance with our Intellectual Property Rights Policy, Anessa Owen Kramer on behalf of General Motors provided us with a notice stating that your use of "GM". “Chevrolet”, “Buick”, “Chevy”, “Corvette”, “GMC”, “Oldsmobile”, “Pontiac”. “Cadillac”, Hummer”, and/or the use of GM’s numerous emblems and logos infringes upon their intellectual property rights (copyright/trademark/trade dress). Please click here for more information about intellectual property. Accordingly, we have set the content that is alleged to infringe the rights of the third party to “pending status” which disables said content from being displayed in your shop or purchased by the public. You may review the content set to pending status by logging into your CafePress.com account and clicking on the “Media Basket” link. The content set to pending status will be located in a “pending images” folder, which can be accessed via the pull-down menu bar on the left hand side. We realize that you are a dedicated fan and are expressing such through your art work, as only a true fan could. That being said, feel free to contact General Motors directly to voice your concerns about not being able to express you true love for the automobiles. You are, after all, part of the fan base and, more importantly, part of the purchasing public and have assisted in creating greater sales of the automobiles, and have helped elevate the GM properties to their current cult status. Please find the contact information for the representative of General Motors below if you want to share your concerns. Anessa Owen Kramer Brooks Kushman P.C. 1000 Town Center, 22nd Floor Southfield, MI 48075 Ph: 248-358-4400 Dir: 248-226-2912 Fax: 248-358-3351 akramer@brookskushman.com We apologize for any inconvenience that our actions may cause you. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. </div></div> We all know and accept copyrights. But Buick fan sites and forums have only one aim: To maintain and spread the glory of the brand Buick and its products. Sadly, this is no longer appreciated.
  2. America was a great country once. But in the last years, America began to arrest people without a reason, taking away their freedom. Now the economy is in such a crisis that the country's needs run major companies; isn't it like a tiny communism? In some forums you can read people advising Americans to buy only American products - what about the free will? Just let everybody buy what they want. Let the market decide which products are the best. Only the free market and a free competition with other brands and countries will increase product quality. The big three and especially GM need a real strategy for the future and need better build cars, nothing more and nothing less. Wasn't there once a statement called "When better automobiles are built BUICK will build them"? Where are those Buicks?? If you tell me where to find them - I'm gonna buy'em.
