Re: Problem With Vespa ??
-----------------------------------
there should not be any problems with the name with regards to free stuff. Only if the person plans to sell something that uses that name (vespa) only then should it be concern to the person who's trying to sell it. That other site will not sell anything that may have a copyright issue because they (the other site) could be sued by the company that holds the copyright on the name Vespa. You aren't selling anything on this site so all is good here and you can keep using the name as far as I can see. The reason that other site took down your picture was due to they can't sell it there due to the copyright on vespa. I had a photo I took of a VW Bus that was painted cool like a hippy van, the photo was mine and yet I wasn't allowed to sell anything with that photo on that site because it was a copyright infringment on Volks Wagon lol
The copyright laws are a bit strange and sometimes totally silly if you ask me, but that's the way it is at least over here in the good ol USA lol
