Seems to me that it would be. I mean seriously... if this were totally legitimate, you couldn't take pictures of just about anything without violating someone's trademark of something.

First off... I'm not about to put a disclaimer on my blog saying that FTV doesn't endorse Mercedes or what not.
Second.... I can't take a picture of my home office without displaying Dell products. However, I'm not making a profit off of any pictures of my home office (unless perhaps they end up getting stolen and used on some gay site). But you get my point.
Speaking of Dell, remember the OJ trial and that great big massive monitor on the judge's desk with the huge Dell logo on the back of it? How's that for product placement?
