Does anyone know what the lowdown is with SDlogic???????

[mili]

They were sued into extinction by DTV.

Where they a legit company? I thought that they were above the "water line". Do you think this will effect the end user?

[mili]

They thought so too. DTV and the judge thought differently. The way it will effect the end user is the same as with other busted dealers' customers: the dreaded letter.

This is not as cut and dried as it first looks. The SD Logic case was a summary judgement award against the company. SD was unable to defend against DTV as it's Corporate Status was suspended. The Judges ruling on the devices being PAD's is not admissable in any end user case because of SD being unable to defend.

The interesting aspect of the case is these titbits . Rich Koch a mysterious third party and the Booth's other companys DSSFIX and Smartcardtoolz named in the case.

what is pad's---in lay man terms--thay can't go after the end user??? where can i find a link for info or can you cut and paste? thank

A PAD is a Pirate Accsess Device. It's not that they can't go after an end user it is that SDLogic sold to everyone. Govt, Military various business etc. The T911 is probably the only item that may be looked at as a PAD.

This was a uncontested case, so the Judge only heard one side. He just agreed with what they (DTV) said as opposed to ruling on the devices.

It is a just a paper judgement giving DTV bragging rights. You can't collect from a company that is no longer in business

[nova111]

could they require sd to submit credit card records? they didn't sell a t-911 reader--a least a sdlogic site---maybe at DSSFIX or the other site you named or am i wrong? thanks

Paperweight hell, it can set a precedent that can be quoted in subsequent cases.

I can see Dave quoying thus

"Well the court found in our favor and it was not even appealed so it is the prevailing caselaw on the matter. And we ask this court to rule in our favor based on this prior ruling"

[robo]

hell yes if they ask they will have to turn over docs i would bet if u bought u will get a letter which really sucks

As I stated earlier the key to this whole case is Rich Koch (ISO-TEK) and not SDLOGIC as everyone knows them( including Microsoft). Even though the judgement went against SDLOGIC, there is a whole lot more to this story than that.

Time Line

Rich Koch rolls over

SD loses it Corporate Status

Summary Judgement against SD

According to Court records . The 21 million judgement is broken down as follows. Ten thousand judgement for each device sold.

2116 Universal Smart Card Devices sold
50 V16 devices sold
10 SD-EXT devices sold

None of these devices where sold through SD's own web site. Nothing new here, same devices as all the other so called Pirate sites sold. Somewhere out in cyber land devices manufactured by SD sold through a third party. End of story
