    As detritus mentioned, BMW or Nike's copyright extend beyond their mark ,and removing a logo doesn't make a BMW or a Nike "generic" as the industrial design in some cases is trademarked or patent protected.

    If you're talking exclusively of product thumbs off of nike.com or bmw.com, you're likely to be fine, but if you get into any creative photo territory then shit gets real.

    Also there's tons of generic shoes and car images online if you take a few minutes to search.

    • Oh and ask Sheppard Fairy on the risks of illustrating based on photos.ben_
    • Yep, product thumbs basically.SteveJobs
