Is threating to sue going overboard? In most cases i would agree, but if people have been told very recently by email asking if there was anything coming out to replace current product and being told no then maybe they do have a case.
For the record i'm not one of them just saying there maybe a case for some people.

Well FIRST they would have to provide the actual email as proof. Maybe THIS was what I read about in my previous post. By the way it would be interesting to post this for all to see.
If they can do that, then it is up to the lawyer to decide weather or not to go after it as a case, but I still think it is making a mountian out of a molehill!
In the first place.... WHAT are they going to be suing for exactly? That they were not told a new unit was coming out? That is not grounds for legal prosecution as far as I can tell. If it were, a lot of companies would be in trouble.
That they were deliberately lied to? That would be an even harder case to prove even IF they had the email you mention and STILL not illegal as far as I know.....frustrating maybe... but illegal? No.
And then how would you prove "damages"? It is not like Cliff came and hit you with his car and you are in a wheelchair or anything. He simply made a new product and was a bit secretive about it. Nothing illegal there as far as I know, though I am not a lawyer. Would you say that being without a guitar pre-amp caused you harm? That does not even make sense unless you try to tell the judge you had a bad case of GAS , to which he would probably not understand what you were talking about and would say you need a doctor not a lawyer!
Again suing Cliff to me IS going insane, overboard, the persons elevator does not stop on every floor...you name it how you want.
But what I am saying is that suing over a guitar pre-amp unless it blew up in your face and caused you physical damage, is probably a dead case from the start. As I said....being dissapointed is one thing ...taking legal action is completely another.
I'm one of the guys who did email asking if they're maybe a new product update etc coming. I sent the email on Feb 25/2011, after a couple weeks I bought it. Had I not asked before I bought, I would have NO problem with my purchase...I still don't have a problem, I enjoy my Ultra! I'm just upset that I was not given an honest response.
This was in my earlier posting where I read about you or someone else asking about a new unit. Could you post the email without any personal information? I would like to see for myself what you were told.
Is Fractal that stupid and shady that they would lie in an email? I really hope not, and would hate to see that speculation get repeated. All I've seen is a post from Cliff saying someone was threatening to sue him, and until I see Cliff say more than that I'm gonna assume it's just some douche being a douche.
This is WHY I asked the person that posted they received one of these emails to post it for all to see....it would put to bed a lot of questions and rumors about what it was and what it was not. But lets not start calling people liars until they have had a chance to explain themselves!
