Probably should learn American laws
Probably should learn American laws. Giving an opinion of a product that you have in your possession whether free or not isn’t illegal. It’s the easiest thing to research. If you give a review and do no say anything that is factually incorrect then you are able to say it. I just watched the video nothing in it could possibly be seen as other than opinion of the product they had in their possession. Nothing was hateful, incorrect, or misleading. Everything was clearly visible in the video. I’d suggest publicly apologizing to save yourself….or keep going with the big ego route. Trying to fight something you can’t legally win. Now when you lose you’ll just have to pay the cost of your legal fees and theirs….Seriously how could you not see that backfiring ? Do you truly not know you can give opinions publicly ? You can also give opinion on a companies values and ethics whether you’re a customer or not. Your values and ethics are 1/5 stars.

A legal opinion from someone who watched a YouTube video. You have no real firsthand experience with Vulcan Strength. You are repeating someone else’s talking points based on a video, not reviewing a purchase, product, or service experience with us. If you want to lecture us about U.S. law, start with the basic distinction you skipped. Opinions are protected. False statements presented as fact are not. That is the difference. We did not sue anyone for saying they disliked a product. We have had positive reviews, negative reviews, and mixed reviews for years. We have never sued anyone over a negative opinion. The lawsuit concerns false factual claims that we say caused real harm to our business. Saying “I don’t like this product” is an opinion. Making false factual claims about a company or product is not the same thing. You say we “can’t legally win.” If that is true, then there should be no reason for this level of concern. The case will be handled in court, where facts and evidence matter more than internet commentary. You also say nothing in the video was incorrect or misleading. That is your opinion after watching a video. It is not a legal finding. We are seeking a jury trial, and the filings are public. Anyone who wants facts instead of internet commentary can read the actual court filings here: https://blog.vulcanstrength.com/post/vulcan-strength-v-gluck-s-gym-public-court-filing We will not apologize for defending our company against false statements. Our values are truth and accountability. We are not going to apologize for standing up to false statements, and we are not going to concede to influencers who use misinformation to build attention at our expense.
