I've always known that one doesn't want to disparage a product in one's writing because of legal issues, but this brings up another concern. If we have a character who isn't exactly responsible in the way they act, we need to steer clear of brand names in relation to those actions?
Just interested to see how others feel about this - big deal, not a big deal, old news?
