Agreed, ima

They are just finding loopholes to quash free speech, calling it something else nowadays. Just to harass people to get them to shut up they are making up lies such as "I believe it is an ex employee who signed a confidentiality agreement," "I believe it is a person related to a competitor" "I need the person's ID as I want to subpoena them merely as a witness"... Then they get the info. and sue them for something they know they can't win just to harass the person into silence as it costs money to defend frivolous suits. They are able to quash freedom of speech thorugh the back door.

I really do believe that freedom of speech is a two way street. If they can pay analysts, stock promoters, PR and IR people to tell the world that they are great and have a rosy future, we should be able to state that they suck and the future looks dismal. Why is positive speech okay but negative is not? We are biased against negative speech. What gets me is that more people in the stock market have been hurt by positive speech than negative. They should be biased against positive speech. Heck, if you want to speak negatively you are taking a chance of getting sued for no reason even though you are 100% correct.
