Arbortext Royalty Fraud: The Piracy List

The companies listed in the table below have licenses to use Blueberry Software’s technology via the Arbortext product Interchange. Their licenses are recorded in Arbortext’s License Key Database. See Exhibit AB if you wish to verify any of these listed companies.

Arbortext, however, did not report these sales to Blueberry nor pay Blueberry any royalties on these sales, as specified in the Blueberry/Arbortext Royalty Contract. This makes these licenses a form of pirated software.

Blueberry makes no complaints or accusations against these companies or entities, some of whom are State and Federal agencies, and is quite certain these companies paid Arbortext for their software in good faith.

It is Arbortext that is the guilty party. Although they have a contractual right to distribute Blueberry’s technology, they may only do so if Blueberry is paid royalties on the sale. Regarding the list below, this did not happen. Blueberry was given away entirely or in part without remuneration and the sales were hidden from Blueberry in the Arbortext Royalty Reports.

Bear in mind, the following list is only a partial list of Arbortext piracy. Due to an audit cover up by Mark Robinson of Plante Moran and a highly suspicious ruling by American Arbitration Association arbitrator Kathryn J. Humphrey of the Michigan law firm of Dykema Gossett, Blueberry was prevented from a full investigation of Arbortext’s fraudulent accounting system. Blueberry obtained this partial list from the working papers of Mark Robinson’s Plante Moran audit report, which were uncovered during Arbitration Discovery proceedings two years after his report was issued. He did not mention this piracy at all in his official audit report. Quite the opposite. He said everything was hunky-dory. See Chapter 36 and Chapter 45.

The licenses herein were extracted from the License Key Database – after Robinson allowed Arbortext to destroy and/or edit the original database, which he described on the phone to us as having “significant discrepancies,” and then allowed Arbortext to submit this altered database version to Robinson for his report.

Blueberry is convinced that there are many more licenses issued by Arbortext that were not reported. If this list is not considered by Robinson to contain “significant discrepancies,” what oh what did the original database contain! Only a full and complete investigation of Arbortext’s records will suffice to determine the extent of criminal behavior by this company.

Software Piracy and Accounting Fraud are crimes, and these crimes are delineated in great detail in the Rape of Blueberry on this site. It’s time for an official investigation of this company and the individuals who commit these crimes with impunity. Stockholders deserve to know what kind of company they are investing in and what kind of people are running that company.
