Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito


Here's a link to a Washington Post article on the recent dustup with MoFi. The comments section (including posts by Michael Fremer) are interesting.

@sns    As to MoFi losing a case on the basis of alleged listener bias, I doubt the cleverest and most devious lawyer (even in the States) could prove a case, even on the balance of probabilities test, using evidence based on unprovable psychological listener bias.  I wonder if he would have to present double blind ABX tests in court?  Might get interesting.

Yeah, me too on modern vinyl.  MoFi at the start apart, I still think the glory days started with HMV and Decca and the development of the LP in the late 1950s and were largely gone by 1970.   Yes, I have 3000 odd of those.

What next? Cuban cigars with a smattering of North Carolina tobacco?
 Jim Davis’s response makes sense to me but some will call it spin.

All the best,

At least as printed on the MoFi website, the questions lobbed to Davis are all marshmellows.  Presumably because MoFi advertises on TAS

Jim Davis spun the story well but if it gets into the court system the only winners will be the lawyers
