Gonna Get Sued Due To Banner?

TRshady · 05-30-2003, 02:25 PM

Hi,
I noticed the banner for your site said 'The BEST site on the internet' - i'd take that out before someone sues you. Seriously, you can't say something like that if it isn't true.
Just thought I'd  let you know, even though you probably won't do anting but oh well.

I just got this as a PM and want your opinions on the subject, the banner is supposed to be humorous so people shouldn't sue me or compliant over this should they?

What do you guys think?

If anything, the cd keys and sega roms would be the problem. Not the claim of Best site on the Internet.

True.

However, saying it's The best site on the net, without any prove, is illegal. IT's whats called disguising the truth or even with holding the truth with intent.

I'm not saying some guy is gonna come on and actually sue him, it was jsut a point I thought I'd make.. Don't like to see fellow p2p'rs get knocked down like that.

what defines the best site on the net then?

Was nothing wrong in that banner imo... so let them sue you... freedom of speech and your own opinion in that counts... B)

Its called advertising, and its perfectly legal.

As its a 'subjective' matter, all he would have to prove is that someone (even himself) thought it was the best site on the net.....

Its not as if he's claiming you will lose weight by visiting there, or is garanteeing that you will get laid.
