Re: pepsi blue copying?? (leadtrum)
if i were your friend... send an email to thier webmaster... and threaten a lawsuit. if i remember correctly, it's a $15,000 fine PER occurance. consult a lawyer, and try to get something out of it.
IMO it is the same car.
pepsi blue is nasty anyhow

Re: pepsi blue copying?? (rolow)
but the law is..according to what i know is that if you change it like 20% then its not copyrighting...even though its pretty much the same damn thing i'm sure their lawyers would win that argument

Re: pepsi blue copying?? (k.)
can anyone enhance the image off the pepsi website enough to make out the writing above the grille in b/w the lights? if it is the same as on your friend's car i would def. call a lawyer or at least ask for compensation. jville in the hizouse!
oh yeh, was that pic on aerotrends website or somewhere else online? if so, the option to take legal action would probably belong to whomever's website it was.

Re: pepsi blue copying?? (Angry Joe)
Everyone knows that his car....look at the position of the rims/ the IC and all the little details.....they stole the picture of his car and used it. Plain and simple.
