Amway Statement About Subpoenas, Sidney Schwartz, and P&G (page has been removed)
Amway's justifications behind issuing subpoenas. Since they are the plaintiffs in the case, why do they feel the need to justify their actions?
Amway Statements on Free Speech, on the Internet, and on Sidney Schwartz and P&G
Amway's Corporate position on Free Speech, the Internet, and its critics. (This is actually an entire page talking about how Amway believes in free speech, but that Sidney Schwartz has no right saying the things he says. In other words, Amway believes people have the right to say whatever they wish as long as they don't say anything negative about Amway. Since the page contradicted itself, it was Amway removed it from their site without explanation. I have, however, "recovered" a copy and have posted it here.)
