BOYCOTT CAR & DRIVER MAGAZINE

I wrote on June 5 that Michael Yon had reached an agreement with HFM on the unauthorized use (the theft) of Michael Yon's photograph on one of their magazines. Well, they didn't even have signed papers when HFM (the publisher) reneged on the deal.

So you can still protest this affront to copyright laws by this french froggie publisher....

Michael Yon has the details of these slimy people HERE

The publisher has many magazines, but their most popular is Car & Driver. So there is a call on to boycott Car & Driver:
From Blackfive:
Dear HFM:
I have long been an auto enthusiast and have purchased Car and Driver magazine for at least a decade - usually at Borders. I am also a military veteran and owner of the military blog Blackfive.net.
I am writing in response to your (1) misuse of the photo of Major Bieger and little Farah who was killed by insurgents which is owned by Michael Yon and (2) your feeble attempts at avoiding responsibility for said misuse. You took a heart-breaking and poignant photo and twisted it to fit your own political agenda. Mike could have benefited from that photo many times over by selling it to outfits like you seeking to undermine our success and change history.
Mike has something that you obviously don't value.
Honor.

PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY
AND
DON'T BUY CAR & DRIVER
