<VV> Corvair siting in music video - Mel Vondrau wants to linktoour sebsite from hers ?

[corvairs]

How does she profit from this arrangement? We're not endorsing anything, 
but she would certainly be appearing to endorse us - at least as a hobby 
source. The Corsa website lists links to commercial Corvair vendors, 
myself included, but that  isn't prohibited, probably because there is 
no direct financial gain to be derived from Corsa by doing so. My 
business is not prohibited or discouraged from putting a Corsa link on 
my commercial website - even though it could be argued that there is a 
probable secondary financial gain to me by doing so.

Put it this way - If she puts the link on her site who in Corsa will be 
the first to send her a cease and desist letter?  Lon Wall   Western
