In because of curiosity

We were all ready to go on this but our US lawyer made the process very difficult to sign off on (probably with the right intentions though), apparently suing people for your own mistakes is quite popular in the US
Not sure what we are going to do at this point.

Nothing further to share at this point.

Ross - thank you for the effort, no matter the final outcome. I was hoping this may have been a resolution to the current *.cax file restrictions - running two versions of the software on two separate interfaces is a time and resource drain.

Our current societal climate (at least in North America) will no doubt go down in history as the complete failure of the "everything is OK" social experiment - which was intended to bolster self-esteem and diminish the potential abuse of the individual. The actual result was the production of a generation(s) of maladapted children masquerading as adults.

I miss the seemingly long gone era of the responsibility of the individual ....


Best regards,

So that means, if i take a blow torch to my car and light it on fire i can sue the creator of the blow torch?

You know how in other parts of the world they have billboards for stores, car companies, clothing companies? Well in the US its billboards for attorneys and lawyers. Its one of things you really notice driving down from Canada.

Damn right... i saw one the other day that said:

Just because you did it, doesn't mean you are guilty.

And the car manufacture because it caught on fire... LOL!!!

Ok, hypothetical scenario....

Tuner with a pro license bricks an ECM because the .cax file he created was invalid and corrupted the OS.
Problem is the owner of the vehicle was going away on a family vacation that night and now they are stuck at home. Car owner gets in to a fight with the shop owner over this and says he is going to sue over stress of missing the vacation, blah, blah...
Tuner goes to a lawyer (that he saw on a billboard) and explains the situation, lawyer says well that isn't your fault, EFILive gave you the ability to do what you did, lets sue them.......

Sounds crazy, but then so is suing McDonalds for making your coffee too hot (which we all know has been tried)......Taz you are right, 'responsibility of the individual' disappeared 10 - 15 years ago.

As much as we had a laugh about all this the reality is that when a US lawyer is telling you this stuff you have to believe such stupidity is a possibility. Even to the point that a signed waiver still isn't enough!
