LAWYERS NEEDED, HONDATA LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST D. BLUNDELL
HELP DAVID BLUNDELL TO RAISE FUND TO FIGHT AGAINST HONDATA INC.
OFFICIAL COURT LETTER
Letter from David Bludell :
I kind of hate posting this here because it is so easy for this appeal to be misconstrued. Unfortunately, I'm also fairly desperate and I need to try to reach everyone I can. If you choose to post and respond to this thread, please do so in a constructive manner - I have made an effort to be polite and respectful, and I ask that you do the same.Hopefully you are reading this because you are a user of TurboEdit, Uberdata, Crome, Neptune or eCtune.Without pgmfi.org's existence, none of these packages would have been around to benefit the Honda community. Without the competition, Hondata and AEM probably would not have come down to their current prices. The explosion of aftermarket products was made possible by cheap engine management solutions - without the ability to retune ECUs inexpensively, a build with Skunk2Pro1s would be virtually impossible to do without a $1500 standalone and a $1000 tune. Look at the VW community for an example of a group crippled by the lack of tools available to tune their http://www.honda-tech.com/zeromodify?cmd...d=30628051#. Point being: it's not just the tuners that charge for tuning that have benefited from the proliferation of cheap engine management solutions - everyone from the cam manufacturers to ESPECIALLY you, the end-users.I am now in quite a bad spot as a result of being the owner and moderator of PGMFI.

You may or may not remember a matter dating to May of 2006.
Someone posted a k-pro downloader on the pgmfi forum. I didn't remove it as quickly as Hondata desired due to exams and being busy as hell. Cease and desists, letters back and forth, demands and counterdemands, etc. (I'll post all the correspondence exchanged previously later.) And yesterday (10/23/07) I get a proper lawsuit on my back step. Not quite proper service, but I get the point.
I'm kind of wondering what the hell Hondata are trying to accomplish. They seem to forget that I have been one of their strongest advocates, encouraging people NOT to go reverse engineering their software. I would think that losing this would be much more harmful than anything else they would seek. I no longer own PGMFI.org (Vladimir Ivanov purchased it last year) so my ability to affect policy and decisions is limited. I hope they don't think I have any money for them to have...
Oh well.
If anyone thinks they can help or knows of a good IP / internet attorney in LA, let me know. If you have a friend who thinks they can help, show this to them - there is nothing here that isn't public record. I'm more or less broke from trying to get my business off the ground and caring for my family, so it looks like I'll be using the credit cards to pay for my defense. If you feel like contributing to the legal defense, you can send paypal to blundar@gmail.com - Vladimir has already said that he would use some of PGMFI's paypal funds to help out, if needed.
Peace
