| That news story says that Monster Cable sued a lot of people, but interestingly enough does not say whether they won any of those suits. |

my understanding of the bullying is that none of the suits have ever been tried. If a case gets close to going to trial, Monster will pay the would-be defendant to agree to settle out of court. if you missed it, here's some fun'n'games with monster: Blue Jeans Cable Strikes Back - Response to Monster Cable — Audioholics Home Theater Reviews and News | |

| I'll add to the monster bashing (uh-oh, I said "monster" in a thread, they may sue me). I bought one of their garbage cables several years ago and it broke within a month. For that alone I would never buy another one, and seeing their wonderful reputation certainly seals the deal.

| Regardless of the horrible business practice, no one should pay $50 for a $15 cable.

Acctually, no. I sent another follow up, and it got bounced back to me. So I think they have blocked either my email or my IP. So, I think the dick eating goes well.

| Probably right after they retroactively sue the promoters of the '80s Monsters of Rock festival...

Notice how he makes no attempt to explain the first-party reports coming directly from people who describe being dragged into expensive legal hassles over these ridiculously far-fetched claims of 'infringement'. I wonder why that is. | |

| I hate this kind of corporate bullying and I'd imagine most of the pro audio endorsees of Monster Cable would too if they were aware of it. Here's a list of artists, studios,engineers and producers that Monster cable says endorse their products. I'd imagine that in the small world of Gearslutz a lot of members have direct contact with these endorsees. Maybe they could point them to this thread and see if they still want to be a "famous monster" *THE FAMOUS MONSTERS FAMILY ARTISTS (A-K) 3 Doors Down www.3doorsdown.com Aerosmith www.aerosmith.com Al Jarreau www.aljarreau.com Alice Cooper Band www.alicecooper.com All American Rejects www.allamericanrejects.com Alphonso Johnson www.embamba.com Amanda McBroom www.amcbroom.com Anthrax www.anthrax.com B.B.

| Hmmm...should I use audio cable or a salt block to wire my system? I just found this and thought it was amusing. Imagine being worried that people might be so confused that they'd buy a big block of salt and try to use it to connect their vintage U67 to an API 3124+ ...incredible! The link. Attorneys for Winthrop & Weinstine recently convinced Monster Cable that a product called "Monster Deer Block" would not cause confusion in the marketplace with its cable products. There is a considerable difference, Winthrop attorneys argued, between a flavored salt and mineral lick designed to attract wild deer and Monster Cable's electric cable and connectors for wiring household electronics. California-based Monster Cable withdrew its trademark challenge after the Minneapolis attorneys filed a dismissal motion on behalf of Denco, an ethanol producer in Morris, Minn., that has been selling Monster Deer Block since 2005.
