then i'd make my cars look serious. one guy tricking out his car to make it look like a joke would not impact this, at least significantly. most of the time people are going to see a ferrari go by (like blockzillahead) and say things like "that is a very serious car!" and "that car looks very well-designed!". then they see idiots modifying their ferraris and be like "wow. what a waste of perfectly good ferrari." the thing they're focusing on isn't the car having awful modifications, it's that a third party actually thought this was a good idea.
Most of this is generally pretty true when it's not an iconic individual with the Ferrari. Yeah people do stupid stuff with their cars and we laugh on it on Failblog. Deadmau5 does something stupid with his car and all of his fans think it's the funniest stuff in the world.
Recognize that customers aren't the only people that Ferrari has to sell their product to. There's other auto companies, stockholders, there's a very large hierarchy of business and the higher up we go the less they cater to funny parodies. They start asking the questions like, why is Ferrari letting iconic people make a parody of their work? When you make a joke out of a Ferrari product you, by extension, make a joke out of Ferrari.
a parody is not an infringed copyright. Purarri is a parody of Ferarri, it's not it's own company, it's not in any way related to any other company and looks different enough from the original car's logo to be defined as a parody of the original.
Parodies are funny and all but Deadmau5 wanted to cruise around in the joke like it was the most badass thing on planet Earth. Yeah I guess the pun is funny and all but, again, they have an image to maintain.
Yeah he bought the car. He owns the car. He doesn't own Ferrari. What if it was you? You make a fantastic, well performing sports car and you sell it to a popular music producer. So what does he do? He strips your name off the car and replaces it with an idiotic gimmick and then parades around saying "this is mine, i bought it"
What does that reflect on you?
i don't know about you but
isn't necessary in any civilized argument.
ok, well, yknow, forget me for assuming mister cheese doesn't need to be literally spoonfed obvious information
