Zen Magnets vs. Buckyballs - a legal bully - a demonstration

In this youtubed open letter, a representative from Zen Magnets (small-fry producer) replies to a legal threat from Buckyballs (leading makers). It starts with a recorded voicemail from Buckyballs CEO Jake Bronstein threatening to sue Zen Magnets for selling a kit containing both Buckyballs and Zen Magnets on eBay with the claim that Zen Magnets are manufactured to a higher tolerance, are stronger, and have a brighter finish. -bb

This should also be the commercial structure/format of the future, (even though he gets a little weird at the end) you would just watch one of these before your get on to the rest of your commercial free veiwing.

Hello motherfucking Streisand effect!

What a complete asshole, grats on doing more to harm your own brand Mr Buckyballs CEO than anything a competitor could have done. I don't know where Zen Balls is incorporated but if it's in a state with strong anti-SLAPP laws like California, any such lawsuit would be an easy dismissal. What exactly would be the grounds for such a lawsuit? That you're a whiny little bitch who can't stand competition? Yeah, that will go over well.

It's amazing that anyone still thinks that sending bogus legal threats is a good idea. A savvy opponent can and will turn it right around to bite you in the ass, as was just clearly demonstrated. No matter what the outcome of any legal action, you most certainly just lost in the court of public opinion.

Techdirt is going to have a field day with this one.
