Monster? Cable Company Tries to StrongArm Small Vintage Clothing Business
Monster Cable, an Audio/ Video cable specialist is attempting to takeover the domain name and use of the word ?Monster? for many websites around the globe. Monster Cable has filed a Federal Lawsuit to take over the website www.Monstervintage.com. Monster Cable claims that we (Monster Vintage) do not have the right to use the word ?MONSTER?, a word used to emphasize our large selection of used vintage clothing. Attorneys for Monster Cable reported to the court fraudulent signatures to sneak thru the Federal Court system and take over www.Monstervintage.com., putting us out of business and stealing our domain name. Currently, the Monster Cable Corp. is in a number of legal battles over the word usage of ?Monster?, including a recent one with San Francisco?s own, Candlestick Park. (See: www.insidebayarea.com/ci_2420226)

Monstervintage.com is a very small cottage business established during the summer of 2001, which sells classic All-American, used vintage clothing. We (Monster Vintage) would like to know how our business threatens a 300 Million dollar a year cable company?

We have started the legal procedures necessary to fight this battle, and would love to share our story with a number of media outlets to show how some big corporations try to strong-arm smaller businesses into submission. (See below on how to contact Monster Cable with your voice on this important issue).

I don't get the point of lawsuits like that. There's no way they can win, its just throwing money away.

I feel like starting up a company with the word monster in it just to spite them.

And their products suck!! They charge 5-10 times more for a product you can find anywhere else with the same specs.
 
my goodness. they are suing anyone with "monster" in the title.

to they will lose most (well they should lose most) of them.
 
dont their cables suck anyway? at least as far as affordable ones go, i think they get frowned at by audiophiles by and large.

They're OK cables at 1/4 the price, at their retail prices they are a horrific scam.

What the sh!t?! That list is ridiculous.
 
The only way they should win is if another cable maker used Monster. Maybe even someone in the A/V hardware industry, but the rest is pure crap (like their cables)!

Exactly why this country needs some trial reform.

I say if you bring a lawsuit and lose, you have to pay all court costs and a little extra to the defendant for wasting their time.

ok i can see them sueing a company that also makes AUDIO CABLES with the name MONSTER in them, thats understandable

but sueing thigs liek Monster.com monster house..... and all that is just moronic, THEY WONT WIN

Look they are Sueing Sony and Disney, who are 2 of the biggest entities out there, good luck with that one :roll:

hell Discovery more or less made it popular with Monster Garage, before that it was hardly used, that and its spinoffs made it popular, Monster.com was there as well but Discovery made it popular

and videogames have used MONSTER in the title sence before Monster Cable existed

What if your case was just, yet you couldn't afford to pay for all costs if you lost?
