Maybe someone can enlighten me on this, or point to someone else who can.
Why is it okay to depict, say, cars in movies without a license from the manufacturer (and cars, moreover, which are getting smashed left right and centre) whereas in videogames it's not?
And why stop at cars? Do I have to get the permission of the Hoover company in order to have one of their vacuum cleaners in a frame in my movie? Etc. The situation seems to me absurd.
