Letter from David Bludell :

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
