Boycott Waves!

I have two words for this- Entrapment., and trespassing. The secret video should not be admissable in court I would think, and the description of the chain of events seem ripe for a judge to award the studio owner significant punitive damages. I think it is high time for a full on Waves boycott. I cannot stand business practices such as these, and I certainly will not give them any financial reward for it.

any lawyers comment?

"is "sercert video tapeing" legal ? i dont think it is.. my friend has a small studio and he got a letter from waves saying the exact same thing .. but they just said they have evidence not that they video taped but i dont know what kinda evidence they could have? he said the waves may have been on a clients computer that he was working with ,not his computer. but they want 20,000. dollars. or they threaten legal action. so he is not sure what to do ? the whole thing seems supicious , but i did see the letter.
