But in that case the MTA spokesman was not speaking for or obligating another department of the agency. In this case he was the mouthpiece of the legal department. Big difference!Those comments will be heard in court IF this case were to take that route. As for the difference between trademark and copyright - believe me I know the difference and what I have been saying is that the MTA is abusing both. They are abusing trademark when they interfere with photographers who sell pictures of trains just because the route symbol is in the background and they abuse copyright when the Transit Museum claims to own the copyright to pictures in its collection even though prints of the same pictures have been in other collections as well for years! |
