Mercedes Attitude in using their logo or copying their designs

Mercedes Benz is real touchy with the use of their name, logos, designs and anything copy writed etc...

There has been some discussion of making NLA plastic parts with the new technology out there is plastics and Computers. wonder how this would play out if they got wind of it?

One reason Mercedesshop.com is NLA is the use of their name and the conflict of selling parts etc.... MB now ownes this Domain name.

I came across this story of a Gull Wing that was copied in Fiberglass, and confiscated and ultimately destroyed by MB.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
