Ferrari Mailing List: Re: I'm being sued by Ferrari, what happened to Ferrari Willi and will the GT4 be the new 246 after all

I read the letter and it doesn't say you can do your thing just axe the logo, name etc. You could use a generic name like Brian's Ferrparts, like FerrDiagrams, RedCarDiagrams.com, or  my favorite diagramsyoucantreadwithoutmycoloredoverlays.com  What ever you do, by word of mouth alone on Chat and here you can sell your good

I see on ebay every day someone selling duplicated parts manuals etc.  This guy is just going after domain names internet names etc.  

I have a talk with Piero next time I see him  :-)

What happened to Ferrari Willi?  I know it something maybe not public but if someone wants to e-mail me personally Id like to know u shitbox owners need to hang together.

BTW there are at least 2 bare metal fram,e up restorations on GT4's , one here and one in Europe?  What does this mean when you spend $150K or more on a 30K car.

I think it means all our work to bring praise to this great car is paying off!

In short, my domain names include FerrariWiring.com, FerrariDiagrams.com and I sell
readable diagrams for 1970-1985 Ferraris. My 2 orders were from Belgium and Switzerland
and I've gotten high praise from everyone. Last year I took in a whopping $800 for
my efforts to benefit the community but obviously not enough to hire an attorney.

"Furthermore, we have ascertained that you are actively using the above-captioned domain

ascertained that, on every diagram, the Ferrari name appears in the characteristic lettering, which
is also protected as a trade mark. "

They wish me to GIVE them my domain names and obviously, take down the sites. I wonder if I just gave away drawings, becoming 'not for commercial gain' if that is enough.

I don't want to quit but am willing to give up any income derived. Right now I look for to your learned opinions. The full pdf is attached (which they will sue me for distributing as they retain copyright for the letter)
