Tuttle et al v Audiophile Music Direct

[GregWormald]

IMO it's all really simple:

People paid a premium price for something that wasn't what was advertised.

 

If I ordered a Beef Wellington at a restaurant and was charged a Beef Wellington price I'd be p*ssed if I got a sausage roll, no matter how good it tasted.

 

If they were so sure they made the best sounding recordings why not just say that, instead of lying?

 

It's up to the individual what they want to do with their records, but isn't false advertising a crime? (Unless you're a politician, of course.)

I'd say it's a touch different. You ordered Beef Wellington from The Johnson Farm, but you received Beef Wellington from the Anderson Farm down the road. 

Nah, that analogy doesn't work 'cause both Wellingtons are still analog. The sausage meat has been digitised into bits.

Finally, people like Michael Fremer who heard the same rumors as Mike Esposito did nothing have not been held accountable. I hope to ask him and others in about it in a month at the LAOCAS Annual Gala.

Good luck with that.

"Free speech" means that non-speech is also free.

As always, sadly enough, follow the money.
