What about VW bodies built by Karmann. Are they not VW's? What about Deusenbergs?
Tiffany never made any of the lamps that bear his name but does that mean they aren't Tiffany lamps? Because you pay for that name even though he had absolutely nothing to do with them.
What about Rodin? He never sculpted any of the sculptures we know as his. Are they not his?
There is a huge debate about authorship that is going on in a FB group I'm in right now and there are so many different aspects that you can't compare apples to oranges. Suffice it to say that I don't disagree with you but I also don't necessarily agree either. Depends on the situation.
