| Jeff,
Why would Cedia allow Bose to continue to stay
members considering the petty nature of the lawsuit?
That just doesnt make sense to me. Is it to try
and stay above the 'stench' of Bose or is it just
about money? Even though Bose is in a lawsuit
with Cedia they still have to pay dues, right?
Seems even more silly now, Bose pays dues to an
organization that they have filed a lawsuit againist
and a portion of their own dues go towards fighting
the lawsuit. You just have to love this industry.
Yes they still have to and do pay dues. We felt that since we live in America and we all have the right to free speech booting Bose from our membership just because they “disagree” with us would simply be wrong. Even though they disagree with us in a very unpleasent, expensive fashion they do have the legal right to do so. Yes we choose to represent you, our members, in a fashion that demonstrates fairplay and class. That’s how we want CEDIA to be viewed by everyone including Bose.
Bose’s member revenues are completely insignificant and have nothing to do with this choice.
