As the owner of the rights to Blue Max I have consulted an attorney and been advised that, if I wish to keep those rights, I need to defend them. Youplay.it has permission to use BM on this site. Hexcell doesn't. I contacted the owner of the site and requested he not use BM and he basically gave me the finger. y next step will be to find a lawyer in Australia and get a restraining order against him.
For those who know, and those who don't, I have an incurable cancer, multiple myeloma, and have perhaps two years before the dirt nap. I intend to leave BM to my wife and hope she can sell it or possibly reprint it what with the centennial of WWI coming up. The lawyer tells me that might be impossible if I don't defend the IP (intellectual property) rights. So I shall do so to the best of my ability.
I trust that if any of us here can be of any service you will instantly ask for the support we can offer.
I'd think the simplest way us users could support Phil and his family would be to not solicit the Hexcell site any longer. As we all know, you need players to play games so if the Hexcell player pool dries up it will not be profitable for the owner to run it, particularly when facing legal complications for it. Also, the more traffic the site gets, the more money it's owner makes so I plan to avoid the URL altogether.
Best wishes, Phil. And remember, oncologists are often as accurate with "end game" predictions as meteorologists are with their forecasts.
