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).

https://youtu.be/R7NxRFT6FiI

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?

This just isnt that big of a deal but I've enjoyed the popcorn. 

 

MoFi CEO to his/her Assistant: "Hey, remind me to send a thank you note to the dude who used to work for DCS!"

Belated apologies to @cleeds as I appear to have been channeling him without acknowledging the same!

@cleeds, perhaps I should have been clearer . . . I meant if DCS had the lack of common sense to actually file suit, I would happily defend Cameron for free. I don't appreciate the attorneys posturing and making baseless threats solely to use the threat of litigation to browbeat someone into submission -- in other words, I am happy to even the playing field for the little guy in this instance.

No one is treating this as an "international crisis" as you put it.  Rather this is extremely poor conduct by a well-known manufacturer, caught in the act of threatening a reviewer over a negative review, making frivolous threats and then denying that any threats were made because the word "litigation" was not used in their attorney's letter to the reviewer.  That type of conduct should not be tolerated.  I don't think that is an "international crisis," but I do think that it should be well-publicized and there should be ramifications for that type of improper conduct.
