When Having A Legal Background Really Helps ( Blue Jeans Cables vs Monster Cable )

Cover image

Knowing What You've Got... And What You've Don't Got

If I were to ask just a random person on the street about Monster cable, they probably would have heard of them. They are a well marketed company that produces a lot of cables. They also produce various portable music player accessories, kits, and their price tag implies top quality stuff. Many people swear by them, others would rather just buy bulk and be done with it.

Now, if I were to ask those same random people on the street, whether they have heard of Blue Jeans Cable, they would probably not have. However, they are also a fine provider of quality cables, and are actually well covered in the audiophile world.

Both companies make cables for rather standard ports and connections. Sure, there are differences here and there, but for the most part, most of the proprietary stuff is specific to how the companies produce their cables, compositions, etc.

So, while it wasn't much news that Monster Cable issued a cease-and-desist letter to Blue Jeans Cable, it WAS news when it turns out that the president of Blue Jeans Cable, Kurt Denke, used to be a lawyer.

This is something that many other sites have reported on and is actually quite amusing to read, as it can serve as cheap education in how not to release the legal hounds... until you've done some digging.  read more »
