yesterday evening Simon posted a question about the legality of the process whereby tuners copy original ford spec chips and mod them to suit a tuned engine.

he has been considering producing a peice of kit that would allow us all to do exactly this.

he claims to have received various threats should he go ahead and his missing post was questioning why it should be ok for 'established tuners' to copy chips and advertise on here, yet not acceptable for him to discuss the product.

the post has now gone.

why is this ?
