Consider this scenario:
I am a huge fan of Apple and Samsung phones, as a hobby I made a publicly accessible website that showcases Apple and Samsung phones hosted in the US with photos and other media formats on the domain www.myfavoritephones.com. This website does not sell any merchandise, and is not sponsored. This site shows advertisements which are moderated by a third party. This website makes money through ads.
Would I legally need Apple or Samsung's consent to strictly showcase their logos and products? This website is in no way misrepresenting (as far as I know) the above mentioned companies and their products.
Does any of this sound illegal or infringes any laws that you can think of on the top of your head?
Thank you and sorry, i'm too broke to hire a lawyer.
