Ferrari Mailing List: Re: ferrari infringement ebay

Michael:

Ferrari, like GM & many others have taken the stance that ANY infringement
on their copyrights is illegal.  You're lucky they haven't sued you.

Is that attitude shortsighted?  You bet.  But, don't forget that lawyers
have to make a living too.  And, they believe that if you let someone get
away with making copies of your literature, the next step will be making
copies of their primary product - cars.  And, then the Chinese, Koreans &
Indians would be making "Ferraris."

Bottom line is Ferrari doesn't care if owners have manuals.  They want their
franchised dealers to get the business.

Subject: [Ferrari] ferrari infringement ebay


I've been selling  copies of my parts manual (1981 308 GTSi) for many years
on Ebay. A few months ago, Ebay cancelled my auction. I took the word "copy"
out of the title and the description. I sold them again and it worked for a
few months before Ebay cancelled my auction again saying that Ferrari
doesn't allow this.
 
Ebay gave me a Ferrari email address in case I wanted to bring my case to
Ferrari. Now before I do that, I need some help as to what I should write to
Ferrari about that. After all, they don't make new parts manual for old cars
anymore, they don't sell copies neither. So, why do they bother ?
 
Please help me make a strong case to Ferrari.
