Claus-Dieter Zink takes measures against Lowlands Cup team

If memory serves me right (after living in the US for 18 years now),
this scheme is a time honored tradition in Germany as well as in the
US. Just try and put a product on the market that rhymes with WalMart
or Sony and wait what happens. This is just another form of ambulance
chasing that lawyers initiate to make a quick buck.
I would not be surprised if Zink had turned over this entire business
of fighting unauthorized usage of his pictures to lawyer that can't
hack it in business law or other more mainstream councel activities.
He may even have signed away his right to interfere with the
enforcement process once the lawyer determined that money might be
extracted.
A more benign point: Just because Zink doesn't speak English he should
not be considered a mindless redneck by this international and no doubt
multilingual forum.

This is one very nasty situation. Mr. Zink should not hire any lawyers,
if he is so pathetic about his "rights" ...well, he can keep his
calendars for himself. Hopefully nobody will buy his "art". I don't
think we need people like him involved with anything related to soaring
or aviation in general. I really feel sorry for the victims of his
"business practice". Sounds to me like "sovietizing"...I wonder, maybe
Mr. Zink is behind Russia cutting natural gas supply to Europe? Just a
thought....
