Obviously I can't imagine someone like him sitting idly by if he felt like he was being misrepresented in some manner.

So that'll be something to watch out for, I guess.

Two problems, though:
A) Overstatements, definitely, but as long as Kornblau claims he said the quotes, and that he'd had the conversation with Hentrick (however brief), there's not much ground for legal retraction,
and/or
B) Scott/HiHD may have sunk to the point that the HD folk don't even consider it an industry "threat" anymore, and simply another nutso fan-community infomercial, albeit a slick big-budget one.

(Which it essentially is, except that it first went around bragging its corporate and studio connections, and now third-party industry news people are still under the delusion it really IS some kind of news site, as opposed to fan-blog.
It would be nice if we did have some other more actual industry/press-authorized fair-and-balanced Blu-related site as backup, but Scott's Nyah-Nyah Site got all the press first.)
