This is why commercials can directly say how their product is better than another, use the competitor's product with the name blurred out in comparison, etc. Sony wasn't specifically named, so they won't have enough proof of being a target of suggested slander. |
You are confused there. You can say yours is better. That is okay because you are fighting for market share. But you can't say. "The PS3 is great, the xbox 360 is a peice of trash designed by animals" Sony would be sued ASAP. Just saying "we are the best brand out there for the consumer" is not slandering anyone's name or product. Also unless you are given promission to use a company's product in anything, you cannot use it. If you do, the label must be blurred as you said. Sony can sue because they used their product. It is as simple as that. Doesn't even matter if it said. "Gaming will increse the size of your penis" No matter how good it is. They can technically sue.
