warshawlawI was asked to comment by the reporter and I did.
Here's how I see things: H&B made the bat a public issue by buying the bat with great fanfare and issuing all kinds of press releases and getting all kinds of nifty free publicity as a result. Now that the bona fides of the bat are being questioned, H&B is engaged in typical corporate a-hole behavior. Attack the critic rather than address the problem squarely and fairly. I think after reading the complaint that the case is a ripe one for a SLAPP motion.
I have a copy of the complaint at the office. I will post some excerpts from it tomorrow. It is a public record and anyone who wants it can get from the LA courts if they have the case number, which I will post too.
