Pro Behringer!

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 prohibts the filing of lawsuits that are "presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation" and requires that "the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law." In other words, there needs to be some good faith basis for the claims presented in the suit. If the purpose of the suit is purely retaliatory, Behringer would be subject to Rule 11 sanctions.

Correct.

...but the odds that Peavey ISN'T violating standards are pretty low.

Violating FCC emissions standards is blindingly common, as is lying and throwing compliance stickers on products which have never been tested.

PC power supplies coming out of China are notoriously bad.

Yep, I believe that Behringer has a state of the art testing facility now for testing FCC compliance. In between testing their own gear, they can test other manufacturers.

Kind of cool if you ask me. Let's get some manufacturers testing other manufacturer's specs and claims and get the lawsuits rolling if they don't meet up. FTC or FCC isn't going to do it for MI Industry.

Uli doesn't need an R&D department...behind the R&D door is the legal team and the finance guru's that divy out the settlements

Considering all of Uli's purchases lately (EG Midas, etc.), he's got a pretty good cache of products/technology at his disposal. I'm not surprised the Behringer quality has actaully gotten better over the last several years. Another poster had it right in saying that if you're not getting sued, you're not making enough money. I don't agree with Uli's methods or necessary like many B products, but they're not going away any time soon.

Repeat post. We already knew about the Peavey lawsuit.
