When I swapped a fuel pump in my freinds fuel pump last week, I was using the site to help troubleshoot. Its one of those sites that you will not miss if you have not used it, or needed to before.

I used this site quite a bit, glad I printed out a lot of what I needed at the time. Made a binder with the printouts.

A link on coolcats I wanted once disappeared, ever since, anything I need, or think I might need off the web I print out, and scan back into the computer so I'll have it when I need it.

technically, fordfuelinjection.com was in the wrong.. had they contacted ford and asked to use the COPYRIGHTED material, the site may still be up.. ford owns the copyrights to their materials, which means you NEED their permission to make it publicly available

Shadow that is correct. Example ALL DATA is actually the same but not as tightly monitored. Basically when i sign a contract with them it is for my use. I actually cant post certain things directly . That is why i feel bad when i have the access to it and cant reprint. Now some will say FOUL. Reason being i pay for the info. But never the less that is the way it is. I totally understand what you are saying and you are 100% correct. Ford and all the other data that is leased or purchased by ALL DATA belongs to the companies. Now if royalties are paid the info can be distributed as i explained to end users that pay the FEES. But for i think 20 Bucks or so you can have an all data service on an individual car line and that is cheap. I have the biggest package that includes Crash estimating ETC. I need it it is a must and it costs. Hope all understands this. I know it sucks but who am i to judge it is the price of doing business. Thank You

 
i learned a lot about licensing and trademarking/copyrighting when i started my business.. i had a good friend of mine who i met through racing design my logo and he trademarked it for use by 'Shadow Micro Sprint Chassis, LLC'.. technically, it is illegal for anyone to post my logo without my authorization or use it for any kind of promoting, without my approval. 'Shadow Racing Products' tried threatening me with a lawsuit to change my name, because of the 'Shadow' likeness.. after speaking to a lawyer, i found out that i would win the case because 'Shadow Racing Products' hasn't trademarked anything, he just has a business license and tax ID number, that's it. he also tried saying our logo is similar.. if you look at my site and his, you would have to be on acid to think there's any similarities in the logos
