Unauthorized use of Supercars' Website
 
Saw this:

Bogus eBay use of Supercars' website for pictures

Clearly a guy in Tulsa shouldn't be using pictures of Kevin's cars of his website to sell parts!! Even worse that he doesn't show the hood that's for sale, just Kevin's cars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I agree,bogus misrepresentation.Unless Kevin gave him authorization to do so??
Even then it does not seem fair.

The seller doesn't have permission to use the pictures. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img] I emailed him, asking not to do so in the future. He seemed understanding. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

You would be surprised at how often this happens. I can name a dozen sites that have pirated photos and/or text from us. Ever once in a while some one will ask permission, but not often. A couple of times we have contacted them when used wrong, and you would not believe how they respond. They think WE are in the wrong!

It is happening all over our hobby. How many different people are reproducing and selling stickers, t-shirts, photos and even emblems related to the supercar dealers, without getting permission from the person who owns the rights to them? There are laws against it, but it can get expensive to go after them. It is a shame that we have people like that in our hobby.

When people have asked permission in the past to use photos from Kevin's website, they were told it was okay to do so for non-commercial means.

Jeff, I think yountto was a second or third round draftee, a few years [and pounds, as I hear it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]] ago. Is that who you refer to?

JChlupsa 02-16-2003 06:58 AM

Re: Unauthorized use of Supercars' Website
 
that be the man. Maybe a few years and pounds later but at lest he can say he was drafted by the Bulls and played both European and NBA Basketball. I dont think many of us here can say we played College ball let alone in the NBA

Re: Unauthorized use of Supercars' Website
 
Steve...what the heck was that pink car you had ? was that the dragon ? Or was it named for some Lady or something...

gmsports 02-21-2003 03:30 AM

Re: Unauthorized use of Supercars' Website
 
I can't remember...I have had so many pink cars you know...Maybe the "Mary Kay" 59 Cadillac, or the 1960 Eldorado Sena Rose??? The dragon is green like the name implies..The sick thing is that I now own two of them......I am making room for that yellow car, you are selling/giving me!!!!!Please fill it up with gas so it's ready to car pool in...Steve

Thought it was a Fair Lady or something...at least the cars I send you will start and run !!!

gmsports 02-21-2003 03:13 PM

Re: Unauthorized use of Supercars' Website
 
Yes, they do in fact run..That is until the 2 gallon gas can under the hood runs out.I still can't find the vin #'s on that can???? Where did you say the factory put them? I would go back after the schmuck who sold you that car!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Belair62 02-21-2003 08:19 PM

Re: Unauthorized use of Supercars' Website
 
I did go after the schmuck but he was too busy working on wooden boats to care.I asked him for a license holder or emblem from Jack Head Chevrolet a year ago and you would think he had feelers out there to get one but I guess not. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

gmsports 02-21-2003 08:57 PM

Re: Unauthorized use of Supercars' Website
 
I think that same guy owes me a bunch of money....I heard that he sold a bunch of "Jack Head Chevrolet" Stuff at a local flea market for 2 or 3 dollars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
