Free speech as a concept is all good and well. But if a company proves your action or speech has damaged their business they can win a judegment against you.
If the language you use publicly demonstrates an intent to harm their position in the market they certainly can sue you and guess what, even if they ultimately dont prevail it can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to defend yourself.
If you DONT defend yourself a judgement can and most likely will be rendered that could cause you to forfeit your property or assets. Legal action is NOT a joke. A cavalier attitude can break you, just ask Calvin Ayre.
My recommendation to you guys as friends is to be VERY careful about what you say. Israelis are even more litigious then amercian companies and once they start waving around the “you are damaging my business” threat it is often a precursor a lawsuit. I went through this before with another Israeli and it can escalate quickly.
No one wants to be a legal guinea pig and test case law or freedom of speach on their own dime. Remember in America we talk about free speach, but our laws, our courts and our government dont protect it.
