    Ah, now I understand your butt-hurt.

    The three talentless idiots - reading from the same 15 year old script penned by the BBC - doing "The Grand Tour" - £25 million they were paid by Amazon, I believe.

    And grown men kicking around a football - up to to £250,000 per WEEK, isn't it?

    And Hamilton & co. Anything up to £20 million per YEAR including sponsorship, I believe.

    It's a good job you are a contractor and can afford to keep these folk above the poverty line.

    If it helps, I stopped watching the football and F1. And I won't be watching any more of the GT. Please don't report me to the Chinese authorities.

        I presume you go out to your local superstore and steal a few DVDs when you don't fancy paying for them as well?
        To quote but a single paragraph of many:

        Do not make unlicensed use of Intel's licensed names or logos, such as the Intel name or Intel Inside® Logo. Third-party use of the Intel name or Intel logos requires a license or written permission from Intel. If you are interested in obtaining a license to use an Intel mark or logo, contact your Intel marketing or sales representative, or your local Intel sales office.

        Please, stop stealing.

          Touche....except copyright law allows for fair use in scenarios such as parody, hence the legal use of a parody logo.

          In the same way that copyright law differentiates between private broadcast for friends or family and public broadcast which is illegal without licence.
          Have you tried switching it off and back on again??

            Ah, you were just joking.

            Intel's Lawyers will be pleased about that.

            I was just joking about the Grand Tour. I bought an Amazon subscription for my mother, just so she could watch it. And I just happened to be round there for tea and a scone when it came on...

            Glad we cleared up all the confusion.

                You haven't however parodied the logo - you are using Intel's logo unchanged with some (supposedly) humorous text underneath. That is many things - parody isn't any of them...

                Also your parody argument is invalid in europe that's an American concept...

                  Haven't we all done it and not necessarily via the internet?

                  I may, or may not be guilty of none, some, or more of the following in the past

                  Tapes of music and ZX Spectrum games.
                  Copying of music articles to put into fanzines.
                  Taking tape players in to record live gigs.
                  Downloads of music mixes.
                  Taping mixes from radio.
                  Fake designer wear.
                  Fake high end watch.
                  Copying CDs.
                  Downloading / Watching torrents.
                  Watching pirate DVDs.
                  Reading gifted Kindle books from a friend.
