@mlsstl in this specific case Erin did notify Eric that he was reviewing his product, to make sure he had the correct listening axis. However, he didn't have Eric's permission to review his product or publish measurements....which is the norm for print media and YouTubers who have enough subscribers to be sent product.
ASR normally doesn't have permission to publish measurements and Amir is the biggest exception to the norm.
Other companies have reacted similar to Eric in that they have threatened litigation. You don't have to go back as far as Bose v Consumer Reports. However, Erin leaked the information and put Eric on blast...that is uncommon.
