Great post on Info/Law: Avis Contests Law Blogger’s Fair Use of Logo, by William McGeveran (Minnesota):
Last month, law blogger Eric Turkewitz of the New York Personal Injury Law Blog published this post about a judicial decision overturning a federal statute that’s relevant to liability of rental car companies. He illustrated the post with the logos of Avis and Hertz. The other day, as Turkewitz explains here, he received [a cease and desist order from Avis]. … Memo to Mr. Turkewitz: Don’t do it!
Update: Eric followed the advice here.
