Monster Cable or Monster Litigator? Just one of those curious things
that people we know from the audio business are doing for fun and profit.

If you click on
http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?qt=adv&pno=&qs=monster+cable+products
you will see the recent history of Trademark litigation for the plaintiff
named Monster Cable Products, Inc. The list goes on for 5 or more pages.

"Monster Garage" is the most surprising, as no one is likely to confuse
weird customized vehicles with speaker cable.

Whoops. I missed "Famous Monsters". Come on, now. It's a good thing
"Famous
Monsters of Filmland" is no longer published. (Is it?)

They apparently pursue *anything* with that m-word in it
regardless of how off-the-wall it seems.  Somewhere on the
web is a "blog" of a local costume shop's encounter with
them while trying to rent costumes of monsters. It would be
ludicrous except that the law-firm is apparently given carte-
blanche to spend as much of Moster Cable's money as
possible going after every possible use of the word. They
likely go after the same word in other countries/languages
for all I know.

Even if Monster made decent cables at sensible prices, I would
STILL never do business with them because of their blatantly
sleazy business practices.

WEll, you said it first but I was thinking it from the start. I will
NEVER buy anything from Monster cable again - ever. I hate companies
that do this and will never support them in any way. I guess I could
have just said boycott but what the hell..... I got wordy
