If I were Eric I'd be somewhat concerned about sales. If he's relying on Google traffic, he now has to contend with a lot of the search results for his speakers (not just on ASR, it's gone off on Youtube and in Audioholics) being one long discussion about what an A-hole the owner is and how nobody wants to buy the speakers anymore.
I am not a lawyer but I think standing and damages are a little harder to establish than this. I don't think you're wrong about that but my hunch is it would not pass muster with a judge. I could be wrong.
Yes, agree, but I don't think you can prove you've had $X worth of loss due to this, so it would be hard to make the case.
It really reads in his voice, doesn't it?
It’s not really about money because this is a publc interest argument.
In the US there is very little legal ground to argue that a private entity has infringed your freedom of speech. I'm not saying those arguments aren't being made, (various people suing facebook, for example) but for anyone other than the reviewer themselves to come after tekton... it would be very unusual to say the least.
That's what I was thinking. But then he's also saying there's OSCILLATING supersonic air at audio frequencies. So I think it would be absolutely deafening. Oh well, anyway... trying to make sense of this guy is like trying to push cooked spaghetti through a keyhole.
If I had to guess, prices for these on the used market will (if they haven't already) drop substantially. So, any one of us could probably snap up a pair on the cheap if they were so inclined
He did not infringe my freedom speech. He infringed Erin and Amir’s right which deprives me of information as a member of the public.
