Background
This website was created as a
resource by a BMYC resident for all BMYC residents to enjoy.
Unfortunately in 2009, the BMYC
board decided, for reasons unknown, that I was no longer a 'good neighbor'
(as director Alan Rabinowitz referred to me in an email). Subsequently
director Steve Schoepp called me and demanded that I relinquish control of
my website to the board. I reminded Mr. Schoepp that I created,
maintained and owned the copyrighted content in various iterations since
shortly after I became a BMYC homeowner. When I refused their unexpected and
unwarranted demands, the board conspired with
Spearhead Multimedia to blatantly and willfully
violate federal copyright law by downloading and duplicating the entire content of
my (this) website only to republish it verbatim under a different domain name. I immediately took
civil legal action and
their infringing site was promptly taken down. The board then spent
additional homeowner money to hire the law firm of Rothstein, Rosenfeldt &
Adler to defend them at the homeowner's expense (note: you may recognize
that now-defunct firm as the one that was convicted and shut down for a 1.2
billion dollar Ponzi scheme). Months after the costly (and totally
unnecessary) copyright infringement legal turmoil, the board paid Spearhead
additional money to reword, reorganize and republish my original content.
As a homeowner disgusted at the
board's complete lack of ethics,
I feel each member of the board (Ed Zimski, Alan Rabinowitz, Judy Brennan,
Steve Schoepp and Dave Bergman) should be held legally accountable.
Furthermore, as that same homeowner who's HOA dues were being wasted, I felt it best to simply table any potential litigation
-- at least for the time being. still feel strongly that the 2009 board
members should be dismissed and forever forbidden from servicing our
community ever again.
I will continue to keep this
informative site updated for BMYC residents and the surrounding community to
benefit from, regardless of whatever the brilliant board of directors thinks
is best for you.
