Subject: [Leica] Copyright question?

I am working with a musician on the photos for her new CD. She 
approached me about some images that would work with the title 
"Destination Unimportant". I sent several images. Then it dawned on me 
there might be a problem with one that had a toy airplane with AMERICAN 
AIRLINES emblazoned on it along with an old Hammond World Atlas. Both 
are, as you know, trademark names. So, I immediately emailed the 
musician and said we can't use that image and she agreed and contacted 
the necessary parties at the record label and stopped use of it. I then 
found another imaged she liked that was not a copyright problem. 
Mis-communication 101: Today I received the mock-up of the CD cover and 
inside and damn, the AA and Hammond image is used. I need advice before 
I go back as say NO NO NO.  I need to know if I am correct. Maybe it is 
OK... but I am, as I said, nervous about it.  Options include PS out the 
"Hammond" on the atlas and any evidence of AA on the plane. Your 
thoughts, please. You can view the image in question (and the cover)
