It is a terrible idea and a big reason why tuners lock their tunes. Every car is different. A tune for one does not mean it will work on another. That is Russian Roulette - at best.

Besides I could tell you 3 others rocking (a similar) tune, and they are all running almost 11's with bolt ons.

Dont really see it as a scam. If you paid for a service which you thought was unique, only to find it the exact same as many others then what did you pay for? R&D is out of the question after so many tunes.

besides i don't think that anyone has an expectation of uniqueness from a "base flash". it doesn't explicitly or implicitly say anything about customization.

if you still think you're right then why don't you contact someone from dynoflash or buschur and tell them to chime in here and let us all know that it is ok to give their hard work away for free.
you can try to rationalize it away in any form you like. bottom line is that giving away a product that someone else developed and sells, for free when you have no rights or claim to it, is scamming/stealing.

you don't need to sign a binding contract. it's a simple case of intellectual property rights. they created the product, they sell the product, it is their product. it is not yours to distribute as you see fit. i know you must see yourself as some type of evoM robin hood, fighting the big corporate tuner shops, but come on now. when you boil it all down, you're just a common thief trying to make friends by giving away something which does not belong to you, and that you have no right to pass along.
ask your girlfriend. isn't she in grad school for law or something?
