[DML] "use of the DMC logo"

[Holler <thehauntfactory@xxxxxxx>]

It is my understanding that if you have a trademark (or copyright), it
is the owners RESPONSIBILITY to protect it.
If the owner fails to acknowledge it's unauthorized use by others,
without sending some sort of letter asking them to stop, the owner loses
their rights!
(I'm sure a lawyer could word this much better.)
In my opinion, if DMCH even remotely thinks they might own the logo, it
is their responsibility to actively safe guard it.  (So don't take cease
and desist letters too personally.  Any logo owner is required to be
diligent about this.  
Yes, ownership (of anything!) can be a big pain to keep up with!
I personally like the idea of someone owning the logo.  (As long as the
owner would never passively allow it to be used to hurt the reputation
of our cars, like permitting DM-Cocaine tshirts, etc. to by
manufactured, for example.)
What's to object with, #1.Asking permission?  #2.Paying a licensing fee?

Just my opinion. No legal experience, but I do love my DeLorean!:)
