Yeah, that was not too smart on their part (unless they actually DO have documents that show that they have proven the claims).

As long as there was a clinical study and the results are as claimed by Rip60, I expect they'll be fine -- but that's not BB's point, really.

Beachbody probably has more money to spend on attorneys, so they will probably drag Rip 60 through the courts, making motions and requesting extensive discovery, which will cause Rip 60 to incur huge attorneys' fees. Rip 60 might decide to change its advertising to avoid the costs of spending a lot of time in litigation with Beachbody.

I think this is the heart of the matter -- BB has more resources and can bully the competition to shut up. I don't have R60, I have no stock in any of this, except I think BB is a litigious bully.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I'm new to Rip60 and I still see P90X on their website so I guess the lawsuit didn't go anywhere.

In any case, I think Rip60 decided that -

Added sales from claiming its better than P90X >>> cost of lawsuit, and they were probably right. Its the same reason that they don't bother comparing to TRX in the main ads, because compared to BB, no one has heard of it.

Instead of allocating funds to litigation, I wish BB would pass along some cost savings to its customers.
Another reason why I won't support and buy BB.com products.
