So, wait a minute. Are you telling me that if, for example, someone were to legally buy the trademark to the name and logo "Fleetwood Mac", they could come and take my Concert T shirt I bought twenty years ago? For that matter, forget selling the IP. Can Fleetwood Mac just come out and announce that everyone has to give back all of the albums because their logo is on them? Not in a million years. There is no precedent for that kind of control.
