Love that company attitude....it understands the importance of customer reviews of the products it sells.....
...and free speech.
1. "Company That Threatened to Sue Negative Reviewer Just Lost Its Amazon Account
2. Earlier this week, a man took to Reddit asking for legal advice, saying a law firm was threatening to sue him for writing a negative review about an Internet router.
3. ....Mediabridge, through the law firm, claimed that the review contained several assertions that were "false, defamatory, libelous, and slanderous." The reviewer claimed the company faked positive reviews and stole the design of their product from another company.
4. Companies have been able to successfully sue over false online reviews in the past.
5. Leaders at Mediabridge now say that Amazon has revoked the company's seller account, preventing the sale of Mediabridge products on Amazon.com....
6. Mediabridge still defends the actions it took against the Amazon user, who had originally claimed the company was bullying him and threatening to sue for a simple negative review.
7. "This was done in the most public forum, and in the very spot where our products are displayed," the company continued in a statement. "It would be like seeing a sign at a Ford dealership, right next to a Mustang that says, 'This car was made with child labor.' "
8. For Mediabridge, it is "within our rights to take steps to protect our reputation" when "an army attacks us on the Internet."
But that "army" might have just cost Mediabridge its future."
