Can't wait for manufacturers to start suing members here for what they say about their products. This is beyond silly. dCS needs to take a chill pill.
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?

So dCS MD David Steven has responded on the dCS forum. Here is the link. |
The First Amendment is very much at issue here, and can certainly be invoked in cases of libel or slander. That is, what I publish is protected by the First Amendment notwithstanding your private (non-governmental) objections. Of course, the First Amendment is not an absolute shield against a claim of libel, but it’s a big hurdle to overcome.
I understand you’re concerned with what could transpire in Hong Kong but that isn’t really a concern of mine. I’m ok with leaving that for you to resolve.
There is much, much more to the First Amendment than that. It actually has five major pillars. |
