I would like to see a list of products they're being sued over.
Kind of makes me want to buy something from em(is that wrong?)

Not surprising behavior considering their reputation.
I'm not rushing out to buy anything with their name on it.

Unfortunately a one million dollar fine is probably a drop in the bucket as far as Behringer is concerned. Probably why they continually disregard copyrights on designs. They know that they'll make the lawsuit money back plus some. :roll:

$1Mil to be forfeited..........to whom?

The FCC?

$1Mil seems a little light. The lawyers will cost more than that.
Monitors suck.

1 million is exactly how much the Rat Shack CEO got in severance pay when they found out that he had falsified his credentials when they hired him more than ten years ago! A coincidence!

The embattled president and CEO of RadioShack resigned. David Edmondson came under fire after admitting to errors in his resume. A statement says RadioShack's board accepted the resignation after mutual discussions on what's best for the company. The board then promoted Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Claire Babrowski to President and acting CEO.

Edmondson drew fire last week over a resume that said he earned degrees in theology and psychology from Pacific Coast Baptist College in California. The school, which relocated to Oklahoma and renamed itself Heartland Baptist Bible College in 1998, said Edmondson only completed two semesters. The school also never offered psychology degrees. The resume flap was first reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
I imagine the s*** really hit the fan when Rat Shack needed him to paraphrase the gospels of St Luke during a shareholders meeting and he wasnt able to do it.
