Why is Silk Cut removed from XJR9 Livery

[Silver_Wolf]

Sinc the topic is still up the first user made livery that I think looks acceptable is up on Discover

I'm also a Transformers toy collector. One of the releases a few years ago was a modern toy that transformed into a Lancia Stratos. It was an homage to an earlier toy that was released during the early 1980s as a part of the Japanese Transformers toyline known as Diaclone. That particular toy used a Marlboro livery that the newer release couldn't, though this was more of a trademark issue. Still, Takara used a trademark workaround back during the 1980s by calling it "Marlboor." It obviously wasn't going to fly this time.

The XJR-9 did race in period in the Silk Cut/not Silk Cut livery as it is here. For the UK races, Brands etc, it appeared with the words Silk Cut. So it's not entirely incorrect.

Polyphony can't put alcohol/tobacco advertising for legal reasons. However, there's nothing that would stop players from making those liveries.

Thank goodness for that.

I didn't get that idea from your post.

I thought it was obvious he was showing a similar lack of tobacco advertising in another game.

If it was obvious then people wouldn't have questioned the post. It seemed more of look who has it before GT, though again no one should have to prove it, as was his motive. The point the OP and anyone else confused should understand is Tobacco advertising in any form of media has been outlawed in many places for some time. And thus if your selling a media product globally it stands to reason you'd erase that advertising across the board.

So my initial statement is answered how. If outlawed companies can't advertise, and secondary companies like PD/Sony have to remove said ads, why does that not also apply to the public creating liveries. As I see it, if Sony has to remove it from liveries they create, how can they allow it on the same livery I create. Now I'm doing the tobacco advertising for the tobacco companies and at no cost or apparent repercussions to them. Like I really don't get it.

Because you yourself created that livery, in essences it is your artistic representation be it a copy from an existing livery or something else. You sharing your "art work" doesn't mean it gets banned, you're not making any income from it, sharing it for commercial purposes and so on. It's pretty straight forward, and I'd highly suggest reading up on the laws as to why it came about. There is a reason Tobacco companies (other than Phillip Morris and Ferrari F1) don't sponsor race teams and by in large other entertainment outlets.

Marlboro is an interesting one, they're planning on making their whole range smoke-free (I guess most of their customers got out while they could or died from the cancer) which will allow them to use their logos in F1 again, presumably video games will be able use their brand then too.
