Behringer went after low end companies like Mackie, who we already trying to do similar things. They stole their ideas, who stole others ideas before, and so on. I really dont think that the Neves, Manleys, GML's, have really been affected by Behringer making a crappy $49 compressor.

No, Neve, Manley, and GML probably haven't, but smaller companies like Ebtech...whose cable tester Behringer blatantly ripped off, down to the exact positioning of the buttons and the angle of the words, and who can't afford to take a behemoth like Behringer to court...certainly have. And while Mackie's mixers may have resembled others in the past...what mixers haven't?...they didn't directly copy any like Behringer did. And I'm sure Focusrite's sales were hurt some when Behringer ripped off the Voice Master.
