    use a mac. just because macs are more distinctive doesn't mean they have any greater legal claim against using it in an ad, so long as the use is generic and not meant to blur the lines between their company and apple. its the trademarks that are the issue here not the image of a computer... whatever brand it happens to be.

    • that stock vector is a good example, its a mac but there is no trademarks on it so the image is safeuuuuuu
    • its the same idea with clothing. you can wear whatever you want in an ad so long as you are not deliberately connecting brands with logos.uuuuuu
    • ... brands. nothing is stopping you from putting a picture of someone wearing crocs in an ad for tshirtsuuuuuu
    • so long as there are no logos and trademarks.uuuuuu
