"No I don't feel misled as I think it's fairly normal for some EQ or editing to be done when doing a reissue."

It's fairly normal for vinyl reissues to have a digital step in the transfer/mastering chain. Whether or not it is fairly normal is beside the point. It isn't disclosed. If this about transparency then that should matter too. It's about digital.

"Regardless everyone else is being deceptive doesn't justify MoFi being deceptive."

They weren't deceptive. The accusation was eventually reduced to a "lie of omission." And my point isn't that Mofi is justified but that digtal is singled out.

"And if it didn't matter MoFi wouldn't have bothered to start including the information in their advertising."

That's bullshit. It mattered because they were sued. They were sued because it was digital not because they weren't being transparent. No one else is being transparent. Mofi STILL isn't being transparent. It was never about transparency. It was about digital

"Far as I can tell MoFi has accepted responsibility for it's actions yet you continue to try to justify them."

There is nothing to justify. They were no less transparent about their processes than any other reissue company. If anything they were more so. And I will remind you again, they were sued! They did what they did to mitigate financial loss. They have never admitted any wrong doing. And they shouldn't because they didn't do anything wrong.

"If I heard your reasoning coming from MoFi they would definitely come off my reissuers to buy from list."

Then it's about digital for you too. Because all of these reissue companies continue to NOT be transparent about their transfer/mastering chains. And apparently you are OK with this. Except for Mofi's use of hi res digital transfers. THAT one step was wrongfully not explicitly disclosed. But all the other non-disclosures are totally OK.

Ironically it was disclosed in the very Youtube video these AAA cultists hold up as some sort of smoking gun against Mofi.
