Hi Tony,
Common sense would support what you say as true. But let me put some spin on it...
It's not actually a legal matter (I think), but a civil one. Let's say someone did acuse a company of doing something illegal. Whether it actually had any effect or not, that company could turn around and claim a damaged reputation, lost customers, lost potential sales, etc. and then take the "perpetrator" to civil court. All they have to do is convince a judge that the original statements had a measurable and adverse affect on their business. If a police investigation proved that they weren't doing anything illegal at all it would only add more weight to their argument.
But this is getting off-topic... all I want to know is: are solar/sun eyepiece filters actually illegal in Australia?
Deimos.
