To follow-up on this post. The problem lies with CafePress and Ford, not with Ford and the many Mustang Clubs.
CafePress was reproducing Ford intellectual property without having permission to do so, and since they were profiting from the use of this property, they were violating the trademarks of Ford and it's subsidiaries.
It probably is not known all over the 100's of boards that have followed the story, but BMC and the Ford club relations department has been in touch with one another and an arrangement has been worked out so BMC may publish the calendar for it's member and friends.
To put it bluntly, BMC started spouting information all over the internet claiming the Ford's attorneys contacted CafePress specifically about the BMC calendar and told them it could not get printed and the owners of the cars could not even take pictures for use in the calendars, when in fact CafePress was presented with a cease and desist letter sometime last year from Ford and it had nothing to do with any Mustang Club or BMC, but with CafePress infringing on the use of Ford trademarks.
Rather than investigating what they would need to do in order to print this calendar, they went off half cocked and started blaming Ford when one phone call to Ford could have corrected the issue.
Now BMC is denigrating CafePress, just because they are following the law.
