[QUOTE="Joe Sanborn, post: 115198, member: 2062"] Re: New Midas M32 Console Dear Brent, We have noticed on multiple occasions that you made derogatory comments about the quality of our products as well as our company in general and we unfortunately had to correct you several times in relation to those false statements. Last time we spoke with you and the reseller you work for, you were quite apologetic and it is saddening to see the same behavior come back. Equally interesting are your comments about “morality”. 1.) Please list out the components that you believe are inferior and explain why. 2.) Which employees have we hired to build which identical products? 3.) Provide evidence that we copied the Mackie 8-bus PCB’s. 4.) Provide evidence showing which of our PCB’s carry other manufacturers names. 5.) Provide evidence about “carbon copies” of AKG/dbx designs. In terms of our dispute with Mackie and other competitors, Uli had commented earlier. [I]“One of the cases that endures in people’s memories is when we were sued by Mackie over alleged infringement of their alleged IP. After a series of very costly and bitter court cases which we all won, Mackie reached out to us for a settlement which did not involve any money.
