Allan - what did you expect? Any forums that are 'sponsored' by businesses are a danger to free speech.
I suspect that what SkyWatcher are doing is probably illegal, much like Epson tried with its printers a few years ago. Copyright law allows you to reverse engineer an interface etc to allow for compatibility. Sadly, most of the freedoms that the copyright act gives you are taken away by the abhorrent DMCA.
If someone was well versed in law enough (and wealth), a nicely written legal letter to Tasco might "persuade" them that what they're doing is illegal I suspect.
