Monster Cable's Thuggish Behavior

[Prune]

MonsterVintage, I can't stress enough what I wrote in my previous post. If you submit this to Slashdot and get the article posted, millions of people will read it, and you may get a lot to actually email these thugs.

While monstercablesucks.com is registered with them, the .net, .org and other TLD versions are not. I'm surprised no one has started a site bashing the *******s.

It can be done and with NO money!

I battled MasterCard and won, over $4,000 in restitution

I fought a copyright battle over a song that was mine and was plagurized by another - despite I had no proof and the person that stole it was a subcontractor of Correction Services Canada, I won! No money but I costed the subcontractor a MINT in legal fees

Go forth small companies and individuals and KICK @$$

I have never seen this kind of insanity. At the trademark site, there were 10 pages of filings, most of which seemed to me to be frivolous. I did note that they apparently they have a mark on 'XP'. Hmmmm, wonder why they don't go for ol' Bill G. Maybe a $300mUSD company might not be a big fish in THAT pond!

I'll have a look at my cables tonight when I get home.

Sandy.

Part of the problem is that Monster Vintage is using a logo with a stylized M which is improbably similar to the stylized M that Monster Cable uses. When there are a gazillion ways to draw a funny looking M, it wasn't very wise to use one that looks that much like Monster Cable's trademark.

Just a bit too close to http://www.morelusa.com/

Monster:

I have an idea. You write a letter outlining the particulars of the suit against you and include information about the suits against others. Word it as you like, asking people to boycott Monster Cable for their tacky, unfair and underhanded activities. Add a paragraph asking that everyone who receives the letter send a copy to everyone on their mailing list.

DIY members can then cut and paste the text into their mail programs and send out copies. Within a short period of time, millions of people world wide will have read the letter.

This could have considerable impact upon their sales.

Seems like they now have finally snapped.

They seem to be on crack.

Those connectors Monster claims is too like theirs are generic ones made by the million in China. Every wholsaler I have has them

This could have considerable impact upon their sales.

They got large through aquisitions. As soon as a competitor becomes competition, they buy them. They don't sell? They try and run them out with legal BS.
