I’m not going to argue law or first amendment rights. But I will argue with this.
“Again, from a legal perspective, you couldn't even prove that the statement: "the sound of digital music, as every vinyl fan knows, is not, and never will be, half so rich and warm as the sound of an LP, and playing it does not tend to encourage, as spinning a record does, truly serious listening" to be either a lie, or factually incorrect, at least in the US.”
It’s easy to demonstrate the “opinion” is factually incorrect by demonstrating that digital media is capable of copying any signal from vinyl without any audible coloration. So digital copy of vinyl in fact WILL be as rich and warm as the sound of any LP from which a digital copy is made. Sound is an objective quantity.
Just because something is explicitly or implicitly an opinion does not make it unfalsifiable. If I say I like cheese that is an unfalsifiable opinion. If I say in my opinion the moon is made of cheese that is a falsifiable opinion.
