Brain Storm time.. What would you like to see?

Maybe one of the admins should contact bigger sites that still have Honda in their URL and ask how/if they dealt with it. I find it hard to believe that Honda would send Chief a letter like that and ignore sites many times bigger than this with the same "violation". Or hell...maybe just make a home page that has a big disclaimer on it.

I don't think this problem would fall under the DMCA...especially the way the original letter was worded. Here's a template letter that would be needed to cover DMCA violations (something I've come across from time to time since I pirate TONS of movies )

DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT
1. Detailed identity of the copyrighted work that I believe has been infringed upon. This includes identification of the web page or specific posts, as opposed to entire sites. Posts must be referenced by either the dates in which they appear or the permalink of the post
>Include here the URL to the concerned material infringing your copyright (URL of a website or URL to a post, with title, date, name of the emitter), or link to initial post with sufficient data to find it back easily
2. Identity of the material that I claim is infringing upon the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above.
>Include here the name of the concerned litigeous material (all images or posts if relevant) with their complete reference
3. Location of the author copyright notice (for information).
>Include here the possible URL of the page in which you have list or give detail about your copyright. This information is optional as all work of the mind are by default protected by the Copyright Berne Convention
4. Information to permit our company, the provider, to contact you.
>Include here your email, fax or postal address to quickly get a feedback from the provider.
5. Statements
Reproduce the next statements:
I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the infringing web pages is not authorized by my registered copyright and by the law. I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner of an exclusive right that is infringed.
Your signature
>Signature of the author
>Add your name here

Does the DMCA even cover trademarks? The Honda name isn't copyrighted, it's trademarked (as far as I know). Hell...even if Honda pulled stupid bullshit again, I'd be willing to help fight the fuckers.
