I threw this new article together very quickly from a few online sources(plus a couple of album jackets) The original Tom Scholz article was deleted as much of the content was a copyvio lifted from an external website. As I said this is a quick replacement and is in dire need of copyedit and expansion. Anyone who wants to flesh it out...be my guest - Anger22 14:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Just wanted to say that the DTS Charitable Foundation, which Tom founded in 1987, now has a website. It's www.dtscf.org Jane118 02:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
A book about the record industry called The Hit Men by Frederic Dannen offers insightful descriptions of Scholz and his groundbreaking disputes with the record industry. I think some of that material should be incorporated here. The basic thrust of it is that Scholz - unlike all of his rock star victim predecessors - was able to fight back against the record industry because he already had a good amount of money due to an invention he had patented. I don't have this book but if anybody could pop that stuff in, it would be immensely satisfying. - User:Megaforcemedia 17:57, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Big gaps in his contributions outside pure Boston/Musicianship: Development of recording electronics for his studio Why no link to his company Sholz R&D page (SR&D) His expertise in recording techniques and the actual details of his personal recording sessions & studio. -- Funkyfungus ( talk) 08:11, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
The passage regarding Tom Scholz's education is wrong as Mr. Scholz did graduate from MIT ('69) and went on to receive a graduate degree from MIT ('70) as well.

I had once read in a mid-1970s issue of an American music magazine — probably not Rolling Stone — that Scholz and Billy Squier had co-written and recorded a small collection of songs just prior to Scholz' formation of Boston and Squier's induction into Piper. However, my scouring of the Internet for this factoid failed. It would be quite a coup if someone could add it to the article and cite the proper source. - JohnAlbertRigali ( talk) 04:17, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello - On Brad Delp's Wiki page there's a great deal of detail regarding the legal disputes between Scholz and the Boston Herald/Micki Delp following Delp's 2007 death. It indicates that these disputes continue as recently as 2016, including rulings by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and requests to the US Supreme Court. If true, it seems appropriate that these events should be referenced in this article. Thanks: PF 03/23/17 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.170.236.39 ( talk) 00:50, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
Agreed. This is very noteworthy and the fact that there is no reference whatsoever is troubling. You can always be proactive and start this yourself. ( Sellpink ( talk) 13:19, 26 March 2017 (UTC))
Major case about defamation and no mention in the wikipedia article about him? Very strange.... 217.209.103.60 ( talk) 10:46, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
