It was dishonest of him to not list Rapidigm as his primary client, so
HSN is in the right. Had he listed something like "Rapidigm: Working with
their client HSN" that would be another thing. I also wonder of if he checked
his contract with Rapidigm to make sure that what he did was cool in the
first place, I get the feeling that it wasn't (but hard to tell unless we
look at his contract).

He was a sub-contractor in anycase so he is bound by the agreement that
Rapidigm had with HSN. On some of my contracts my clients are very specific
on how they are credited - and I've had problems in the past with freelancers
who worked for me having claimed through poor wording that they worked
directly for my client. 

If I were Rapidigm I would make it a point never to work with this guy again
if he gave my client any objections. In fact knowing what I know now about
Jonathan Goodyear I wouldn't let him anyplace near my valued clients!

Keep in mind that Jonathan Goodyear is representing himself as a company,
and not as an individual. So it might have been different if he did this
as part of a resume, but even in that context he should make it clear that
he was on contract and not an employee.
