I criticized Amazon’s policies in a blog – their lawyers have subpoenaed me
NOTE: I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice. This is for informational and entertainment purposes only<p>Everyone seems to be conflating the California AG requests with Amazons.<p>I parsed more closely about what the ask here is, and its that Amazon is asking via separate motions for the <i>same information given to the AG case</i> which, due to how discovery works, <i>they should already have</i>, this to me reads as an attempt to press Molson legally and thus spend time and money on complying with these requests.<p>They're also asking for additional information above what the CA AG office asked for or may have considered immaterial to their case. Its a fishing exercise to see if they can find <i>anything</i> to discredit Molson as a witness.<p>Due to the wording in the thread, I found it confusing, but I read some of the posted pics of the asks, and its clear that Amazon is not only re-asking for what the CA AG office asked for, but also additional information. The wording makes it seem like only the AG office is asking for information.<p>EDIT: Also, i see some folks think this is a situation where someone is being sued. Nowhere does it say Molson is being sued, Molson is essentially alleging that this is an overreach of discovery[0] via being "buried" by it. Molson has apparently confused a subpoena with a lawsuit however<p>EDIT 2: I think Molson is conflating a few things (such as lawsuit vs subpoena) and I can't say I blame anyone, the legal system is complex and it can be really hard to remember these things under pressure. Its important to look at the posted documents more than anything, Molson was subpoenaed to provide discovery and I think Molson may have conflated that with a "lawsuit"<p>EDIT 3: Given this is Twitter, he may have meant something like <i>being served in a lawsuit</i> or meant subpoena and not lawsuit without realizing and can't edit the tweets. I still think we can give Molson the benefit of the doubt here<p>[0]: <a href="https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/code-of-civil-procedure/ccp-sect-2023-010/" rel="nofollow">https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/code-of-civil-procedure/ccp-sec...</a>
