Warning! The Volkswagen lawyers are on the loose. I don't really want to get too much in to the contents of the conversation that I had yesterday with the Volkswagen layer that contacted me, but things don't look good for the enthusiasts' pages that are out there. The fellow was quite understanding in my non-profit stance of VOLKSWAGEN.ORG but he said that they are going after all people with domain names with a Volkswagen trademark in them. I'm interested in hearing from people who have had a similar experience this week or in the last few months… this is also a heads up if you telephone hasn't rang yet! Q: why is it best to deal with a lawyer when it is cold outside? A: when it is cold, their hands will be in their own pockets!
