WRONG! You cannot come all out and say "this is the best". That's why Carlsburg use the phrase "probably the best". You cannot lie in advertising without breaking laws. Unles you can systematicaly prove it's the best, you can't say it's the best.

Incorrect. You CAN legally claim that your product is the best on the market, as many have. If another producer disagrees, they can take them to court over it, and if the court finds that their product isn't any better, then they will no longer be able to make such a claim.
And lose the attitude.

I may not have studied law but I have studied business, so I know that I'm right on that front. As for opinion being legal exemption... well, I was only using common sence, but I'd be appauled if just three words (IMO) exempt you from defemation of character.

Yep, they do. If I said that your company is a load of shit in my opinion, then so damn what? It's just the opinion of one stupid person. However if I said that your company is ACTUALLY a load of shit, and warned people against buying it, it would be a boycott. That basically amounts to defamation of character translated to the world of business.

...I'll give you that one. Opinions need to be stated as opinions. As long as people recognise they're ONLY opinions, there's no problem.

Yes, I think you're finally getting it.

Again, I won't actualy argue this statement since it's a pretty good one to make. However, I was more dealing with censorship as a way of stopping young ones from finding really... inapropriate things. Let's face it, OWI make games and this is a fan-forum. One must assume kids will be likely to read this. I believe profanity shouldn't be used... at all, really. But even treating this as other media, you need to crub your text to acceptable levels. (There is a word filter, after all... even if it is surprisingly easy to subvert.)

The value of censorship in the presence of children is heavily debated. In my opinion it is an unnecessary measure, as it is inevitable that a child with access to the internet has either already discovered the majority of the curse words in the English language, or through use of the internet is about to. |
