this is like the varying opinions on if something is a rare antique, or a useless piece of junk.
it all depends on who you can persuade that you have the truth.
as DOORFRAME said earlier, if you have a majority, or maybe some key players with power, then you can have the winning belief that makes the difference.

in this case FORD believes that they own the likeness of their cars, so how do you DRIVE the bloody things in public without EVERYONE seeing it??

isn't that a public broadcast of a trademark? oh difficult one there right?

if people continue to ALLOW companies to have these beliefs and to successfully sue the public for living a normal life, then the people are the ones that responsible for this mess.

with copyright infringement and examples like this FORD fiasco waiting to happen, it all boiled down to the stupid human belief that you can "own" anything.

nothing is owned, you simply "share" time & energy with other energy forms for a period. you have "relationships" with things, people for the duration they're useful to achieve your goal. then you continue to use these"tools" to get to your next goal, etc.

you don't "own" your body, nor your partner, car, land, language,etc...you simply have the use of it. how long and in what manner is between you and anyone else that may disagree about it.

fighting about who owns anything is a futile human fear that is ruining our species' evolution.

once we get rid of the idea that we are all unique individuals and that "I am better than you", then we can all realise that we are all part of the same organism in the same galaxy, in the same universe...all part of the same recipe that is this universe.

lets share and play our part and stop trying to control things that have nothing to do with us.

there is no "I", there is only "i am this small part of a bigger thing".

it's like having your body parts not realise that they're all connected and start arguing about who owns anything and who controls, who has rights over the rest of the body.

once we realise we are all connected then we can cooperate and more efficiently achieve things impossible before when we argued over each other.

cooperation, not competition is the way forward, and for that to happen we have to get rid of the fear that if we don't fight the other people we'll be left with nothing.
