DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC

I saw this You Tube video which was posted by Headphones.com which at the beginning talked about the site taking the side of Golden Sound (GS) & then GS himself going through the details of what happened (his side of the story).

While I am not taking any sides until DCS comes out with their story publicly. While we all are aware that many times companies force reviewers to remove the criticism of their products by employing different ways. But what should be the way forward about the reviews for reviewers and companies?

Can we as the end consumers and as a community come-up with the framework around reviews?

Well I certainly dont, but others do. I visited this site the other day and was flabbergasted.

... If I get say a Ford Mustang and I think it is a dog compared to a Dodge Charger, that is my opinion, take it or leave it. Ford can’t sue me for saying what I think, right?

They could sue you, although it would arguably be frivolous and it's highly unlikely they'd prevail. But anyone can be sued at anytime by anybody for just about anything.

Remember Monster Cable's threats against Blue Jeans Cable? That makes this DCS matter seem trivial.

the willingness of parties to sue for some financial gain and to destroy someone's life is astonishing. Only in America.

This whole fiasco is mind boggling.  The fact that DCS shut down any comments as soon as they posted the two comments that are highlighted in this thread tells me all I need to know about them.  Amazing watching business owners use social media to drive two audio companies potentially in the ground in just 6 months.
