for that remark.I have to give you a few of
The first amendment which guarantees freedom of speech has to do with the federal government and as it pertains to you and I. You have absolutely NO such guarantee when it comes to private enterprise. If I ran a company I can restrict your right to speech on my forum, I can be as dictatorial as I want, I can ban someone for the color of their skin, their religion, or sexual orientation. While I would be guilty as hell in the court of public opinion, I would not be guilty of anything in a court of law. I can tell you to go get f**ked if you entered my store with a concealed firearm all because you have nothing more than civil protections when it comes to me vs you. Freedom of speech is not a civil protection.
What the reviewer did was illegal as hell and had he left the review in-tact Mediabridge would have been successful in their litigation of the reviewer. Mediabridge, which is likely a company of no more than 3 people however represents "big bad corporate america" so their choice to spend $500 and have outside counsel craft a legal threat backfired. Both sides were wrong in the matter though Mediabridge looks like the bigger ass for pulling the litigation-card and by being a private company.
In the end there would have been just one certainty if Mediabridge pursued this in the correct manner: Those with a normal IQ would have understood that the reviewer was in the wrong for committing libel and was rightfully sued for such stupidity though those with a lower IQ would be trumpeting their "We are the 99%!" battle call while ignoring logic and reason.

Ok ok chill , didn't know it was illegal what the guy did in any case wouldn't the law be involved instead of suing? In any case as for the rest of your post concerning rights and freedom of speech have you heard of anti discrimination laws? Private or not you can NOT fire someone for the color of their skin. In any case you proved my point, corporate American can do what it wants, the mistake you make is thinking the federal gov is anything different when truth is they support it and are financed by multinationals.
And the fact that your defending it and talking about your guns leaves me to say no comment. Thank you for reinforcing my belief in the soviets and Putin
