WTF?

http://www.944.com/

 

okay, all the Elisha Cuthbert hotness aside, this magazine looks stupid

what does the number 944 have to do with fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle if there are no Porsches involved?!

 

i demand a lawsuit.


one hot chick awarded to every rennlister that owns a 944

two hot chicks for those that own 944 turbos.

 

That website has been around for little while now and I'm surprised that the Porsche lawyers haven't gotten on the magazine's *** yet. Maybe if we start complaining to PCNA, they will let loose their hounds.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. . .

 

You guys really think Porsche cares that a magazine shares a number with their entry-level model of 20 years ago? Ask an average Porsche salesman today. He'll probably be apt to tell you a 944 never existed, and a Boxster is right over there for sale...

If it was named Porsche, Carrera, 997, or 911, I could see an argument.

 

This was brought up a several months ago. Picked it up because it was called 944, opened it and was very disappointed. And who is to say that the 944's(car) curves, lines and sheer beauty didn't inspiire them...?

 

If it were a Jeep model, there would be a lawsuit already. Jeep is hardcore about model, package and internal names.

 

I thought Porsche was also really obsessive about people using anything even remotely similar to their products, 944 included?

 

If it was a car related site, I'm sure they would have gone after them. Since they are not related to automobiles, Porsche may have let them slide. Porsche sueing them would be like Carvel Icecream suing Riad (Rennlister whose last name is Carvel and is in music, not frozen milk and sugar).

 

Have the women wear Porsche clothing. Problem solved

 

That is a local magazine about clubs here in Phoenix and scottsdale it does have some hotties in it though.

 

I remember Bereta(gun) attempted to sue Chevrolet for their Berreta, but it fell through because of the extra "r." Perhaps it is along the lines that it isn't car related whatsoever...? my 2 cents

 

Here is a decent explanation of what trademark law is all about http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/metasch.../domain/tm.htm
