      Basic trademark law guys ........... Did the letter start with "It has come to our attention ....."

          Believe it or not, not every company wants to be associated with porn.

          I'm pretty sure FTV wasn't sending royalties to Mercedes for using their car in the pics that they made so much money on.

          Come on guys, this is business ... would you want the FTV girls selling Mercedes cars with the thought of "Well, hot girls next to that car, I'm gonna go sign up for FTVGirls?" You would want your cut for them using your girls up front.

As Mutt correctly pointed out product placement in movies is big bucks advertising but if Mercedes chooses not to advertise in porn then that is their choice to make. Lambasting them for it is pointless and shows a lack of respect for copywritten and trademarked content.

            Companies like Mercedes have firms all over the world to deal with this kind of stuff and ignoring them will be the quickest way to learn a very expensive lesson.
            you are fighting your own copyrights battles all the time, same coin, different side.
            btw, how about saying a trade/copyrighted word in a video ? like coca cola or Tom Cruise.. i could see that being a problem as well.

              This is only a fraction of our content. This has nothing to do with our main content. These photosets happen because the girls want to pose with the car.

              The reason this happened a huge spam email with Lia19/SLR were passed around.This is not a profitable thing for us to have the SLR in photoshoots. We do not endorse spam. In the end I am sure it would have happened anyway, I appreciate the help from affiliates to remove the images and to also keep the SLR out of future FTV promotions.
