Sorry if this has already made the rounds or is in the wrong forum but it appears that Monster Cable is once again flexing it's muscles against the little guy

I agree..... all the more reason NOT to buy their overpriced, over-rated wire.

(Yeah, it's just WIRE....calling it cable is just another euphemism like "Hospitality Agent" instead of "Desk Clerk" or "Sanitation Engineer" instead of "Trashman".)

You get what you pay for......sometimes less, unfortunately.

Monster is a Satanic company! Any company that takes the word "MONSTER" to such a trade mark extent, is saying a great deal more than what appears on the surface!

My entire studio is Monster and it sounds like shit! I am currently trying to get rid of ALL MONSTER CABLES, never to use the blurry expensive, over thickened BS again!

Happy New Year to all!

Erm.....

Try and find Apogee by typing in whatever you imagine their web address should be. Before you come across the right address, you will find several companies called Apogee.

There's something a little odd about these allegations. Isn't it highly unlikely that another company didn't have Monster in some sort of trademark before Monster Cables? Just think about all those B-movies. Why haven't Monster cables been sued?

This sounds a little like those tales about Procter & Gamble being run by Satan because someone could see 666 in the beard on the face that made up their corporate logo. Pretty soon, the story spread around the whole world.

I'm not saying the Monster story isn't true, but perhaps the whole truth is a little more complex. If it is as simple as it has been presented, Monster Cables must be very stupid, as they stand to lose a lot of money in legal fees for all the lawsuits they're going to lose.

PS This reminds me of a story from either Australia or New Zealand from a few years back. A small shop called Harrods was threatened with a lawsuit from the more famous London department store. In retaliation, the town changed its name to Harrods, as did all of the companies that were based there.
