The value of all that wording is that the lawdogs at
Monster will have to take valuable time to read it all!
There is a class of lawyer that starts any kind of action they can in hopes that the defendent will settle just to not have to deal with it. Paying them off is cheaper than fighting it, regardless of whether they are right. I've never heard anything but praise for Monster products but legal action that forces a competitor to respond and build up legal costs that might put them out of business is reprehensible - even if it is legal. If that is what Monster is doing, I will be sad.
And I'll start buying Blue Jeans cables.
Right on, denim crew!

I just read the Monster statement from Noel Lee. (Thans, jp!)
He said they actually haven't sued anybody. But he never denied issuing cease and desist orders to potential lawsuit targets, which is what the Blue Jeans issue was about. In Lee's statement he mentions their requirment to defend their trademarks, but the C&D letters, themselves, seem to be blanket, unresearched threats and smell like initmidation by a bully.
