Proposal: Right to Fair Review (RFR) Association

That's why I mow the lawn- it keeps the scrub pythons in the scrub where they belong (except for the big one that lives in our roof).

Far out...

I know people are shrugging at this, but this is a big deal. Threatening lawsuits over negative good-faith reviews has a big chilling effect on the entire concept of reviewing products - which is one of the only ways to keep manufacturers honest at this point.

Imagine if all the reviews Amir did that Emperor's-New-Clothes'ed stuff like audiophile power cables or magical capacitors (or even just bad quality headphones or speakers) were instantly met with a threat of legal action by the manufacturers.

They won't. The masses will eventually and simply behead them and get on with life.

I'm sure it is stressful to be on the receiving end of this but in recent years it's become very difficult in the U.K to bring vexatious libel actions:

Well, it's back to making material misstatements, or not. If he made misstatements because he's technically ignorant, he should correct them, apologize, and stop acting like he knows something. If he hasn't, he can tell them to put up or shut up.

That is exactly what he did with the video, just in public, so what is your problem? It’s an obvious way to get attention and via that way give the maximum amount of pushback without resorting to lawyers yourself.

And no! This should not be ignored! These companies should be exposed for the scumbags they are!

No, just down under

We haven't had a mouse or rat in 15 years thanks to that guy. He's about 12ft long and comes out of the roof mostly at night, mostly.

These reforms sound like a good thing because the UK (and many other countries) historically have not had as strong protection against these suits as in the USA.

The UK has the advantage of not having the American rule regarding legal fees. In theory, one can recover legal fees when a case is frivolous here, but it's not automatic "loser pays," you have to go back to court for it.

But of course, there's no actual lawsuit here, so this seems like more clickbait like the Tekton nonsense.

That's true, and it promotes an excessively litigious society [clarification: here in the USA]. However, the US has the advantages I mentioned back in post 194: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...air-review-rfr-association.53732/post-1952557

A "sorry" or "my bad" would have sufficed.
To answer your question, I would never describe you, by your weight, colour of your skin, height or the way you round off your words when you talk. And yes you do know his name! it was mentioned several times on the video. Now, if you didn't watch it properly, then how did figure "he was spewing nonsense." ??
To continue this, I have to stoop to pettiness too.
Let's move on, shall we.

I'm sorry but this is just silliness. His being descriptive when describing someone's appearance isn't being degrading by any means. Over the top political correctness is so unnecessary.
IMHO and life experience.
