Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito

A class action was inevitable.

I own one MoFi "one step" album. It was warped and noisy out of the box.

Personally I never liked their stuff, even in the pre-Music Direct days.

This is a First World Problem, to be sure.  Let’s face it that like Wine Tasters, audiophiles can be easily duped.  Why?  Because there is more than one way to arrive at excellent sound. Mid Fi equipment today performs at a fantastic level compared to 30 years ago.  It makes it easy for to claim some special process is going on when the reality is there is nothing beyond baseline competence and clever marketing 

The core issue is not sound quality but rather the devious, blatant dishonesty & lack of ethics exhibited by MoFi/MusicDirect in their marketing propaganda...attributes I've seen before with MD.

Unfortunately for MD, this stain will linger for a very, very long time.

This will never get to court. As a case this is not worth the time of day because the financial damage done to any one individual is minute. The reward for staging a class action suite would not be worth a law firms time and effort. Some fly by night lawyer may try to scare MoFi out of a settlement but that is about it. No self respecting law firm would ever take this case it simply is not worth enough.

MoFi is no more guilty of an ethical breach than any other advertiser. They all lie. The pharmaceutical industry is addicted to this game.
