The Fund was actually being nice in the situation, since they could have just forced them to change their name in the first place. The World Wrestling Federation then became dicks and completely ignored their side of the agreement for years and years, until finally the World Wildlife Fund got pissed and decided to give Vince McMahon a spanking.
That's really saying something, too.Quote:

I got a set of Monster Cables for free back at GF for the PS2. S-Video's, which seemed great. Until they up and stopped working.
For 1/3rd the money they charge, they would be barely worth it. For the money they charge now, it's laughable.
I pity anyone who pays 150 bucks for a cap strip.
I just hope they lose and it causes a price drop for Xbox S-video cables for some reason or another.
Hey, I can dream.
They're probably hoping that with so many targets they'll win a couple or get settlements.Quote:

This lawsuit is hilarious. I hope they lose and go bankrupt and then the people at Monster Cable all live in boxes on the corner and bums will piss on their box houses and people will put moldy bacon in their box corners so they will stink even worse and rats bite their faces at night time.
Yeah I said it.

Both interesting reads.
Now, will I not buy any Monster Cable Products (not that I wouldnt buy in the first place) I will make it a point to let anyone I know, and anyone I happen to see in a store know. This is bullshit, protecting your trademark is one thing, but bullying small business selling totaly unrelated items is corporate greed.
My father has had it trademarked before you were born. Better start getting your settlement and change of name forms ready. :pQuote:
