Trademarks like the Ford Pony emblem (stolen from Ferrari) have legal protection from copying.
Photographing products *without* their trademarks is out of Ford’s realm (so just pop off the emblems and click away with your cameras, clearly Ford doesn’t want you advertising their crappy cars in any manner in public).
Ford Legal had a picture of a CHRYSLER pulled off, specifically.
They’re even claiming copyrights that aren’t theirs. And they also claimed copyright on cars that didn’t have any visible Ford logos.
Their logic is that “it is instantly recognizable as a Ford, so we have control over the image”.
I guess Ford owners should go pry the Ford logos off their vehicles. Just to keep from inadvertently ending up in a legal battle.
