So does this make it 3 companies so far filing suit? If I do the math (well, do I really need to?), if this were a regular business practice Yelp was involved in, wouldn't you think that there would be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more businesses chiming in? I actually can't fathom the number of businesses there are in their database. Couldn't even venture a guess.
Even if what these businesses are saying is true, I would regard them as extremely isolated incidents that could have been done by individuals within the company with a vendetta. But again, I would more likely consider the chain of events coincedences.
I'll need to see way more companies accusing Yelp of this before I would even consider Yelp at any fault.
