Re: Who repro's the 70 GM Conforming door jam decal?
Some one please correct me if I am wrong, but as I recall Jim Osborne was arrested in an FBI raid in 1988 at his place of business.
The government's issues were:
1. The reproduction of decals that were not licensed by GM, and
2. The reproduction of the Blue Certification stickers.
I think they actually locked him up at first. Osborne agreed to quit selling the blue certification stickers and to give GM a cut on the rest of the decals and then he continued in business.
I think some case law since then has clairified the Government's position in these matters since - but what happened to Jim back then was Scary indeed.
