I'm curious. If Ford is able to stop people from taking photos of their vehicles and selling them in a for profit calender what's to keep them from expanding upon this in other media? What next? People won't be able to draw a picture of a Mustang in a comic book? You can't produce any TV shows with Fords in them? If this is enforced successfully and Ford then comes about with a licensing scheme I wouldn't be surprised if them try to require licensing from all media channels. How many shows have Fords in them? Just a thought.
When I saw this I immediately wondered how this would effect 3rd party ink cartridges? I don't know if there are any generic ink cartridges for HPs or not... but if there aren't, region coding is a technology they would have to circumvent, which of course isn't exactly legal.
