[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 115163, member: 162"] Re: New Midas M32 Console HP lasers have used Canon engines for a long time. HP pays Canon to use this technology. Behringer didn't pay other companies for their work. Behringer has a well-deserved reputation for blatantly copying the circuitry, concepts, and/or trade dress of other companies' products. A number of examples have been listed in this thread. Some of them were poor copies, others virtually identical. The outcome of the various lawsuits (or lack of lawsuits) is more complicated than "Behringer did nothing illegal". Mr. Behringer is clearly a good businessman. His company has created a number of honestly original and good value products, such as the DCX2496 and X32. I'm sincerely glad so many people have had good luck with these, and have benefitted from Behringer's efforts to remake themselves as a company with good service. Those of us who have been watching for a while tend to feel that the charm campaign and attempts to re-write history are a little bit much. [/QUOTE]
