Hey ya guys ty for the vid, I was curious about an additional fact in this that seems to have been skipped over - in Gone in 60 seconds they named every car they stole from Porsche 911's to an old Merc are they all trademarked? are clocks and all methods of time keeping? Follow up question, should I make a film quick and name every car I can think of as a character in the hopes of a garage to rival Lenos and enough watches to create a leather straped swissmade coffin?

If they got thw Copyright from the movie with the 1971 mustang then that should be the only car with copyrights with the name any car built before should have president as its only a nick name from a movie does that give movies more rights then the companies that created the car?

What I think you should do before building a 67 gt500 is getting a plackerd on the car with a different name than Eleanor that way if they try to sue you for using the name Eleanor you can get a judge to see that the car is named something other than Eleanor they have licensing for the name Eleanor but they don't have the ford license to say you can not build a gt 500

These copyright laws are absurd , ridiculous, wrong..they confiscated a car like it was a counterfeit purse ,or bag..that's not right . They own the pink slip to that vehicle , they should be able to make it look how ever they want to . This is what happens when large pockets dictate how laws apply to small pockets ..

At the end there you seem to be mixing copyright and trademark. Copyright you can not enforce for years and then just sue everyone one day. Trademark has to be defended from even just one infringement or you risk losing your mark.

Why didn’t he just say the name of the Mustang wasn’t Eleanor? Or spell it differently? The fact they can take his car away just cause they named it after something they own is ridiculous and the legal system is broken.

I don't see it. You have to build an exact replica of the car in question or it doesn't count. Or could I sue everyone that has the same four names as I do including my nick just as I somehow would put ownership on those names? I name my car Beatrix and then Quentin Tarintino owns it? Why didn't Clint Eastwood have problems with Chrysler naming a Dodge a Magnum? Makes about as much sense.

Not a specific Mustang? WTF? The frist one is Identifiable as what you just said. And the second one is from Foose Productions specifically built for the Nick Cage Feature in whatever. And how is it that they can claim that any Mustang is an infringment on thier property? It would have to be specific to only the two Mustangs from those two movies only and the second one was sold so that one no longer counts. And furthermore, if i had a daughter and I named her Eleanore, would I be in deep shit over that?

How the heck could they take it? Like: they make the guys change the car's name, okay, it's not entirely fair but I could see the reason. On the same grounds, they could get the videos taken down, I suppose the car's name was mentioned countlessly during the build. But take the car? What the hell? They're like "You can't call her Eleanor!! Eleanor is our car!" and 2 minutes later "Allright, it's ours". C'mon, the first argument kind of contradicts the second...

Couldn't they just change the name and get their vehicle back? I don't think property theft is a legal option just because they own the name. This is why our copyright system needs abolished and those who abused it like the Elenore company needs punished.
