Interesting stuff, Evan. But even though
I still don't think it's right for them to go after anyone who makes a t-shirt or key chain with the word "Monster" on it. It really does seem like some of this is just strong-arming smaller companies who don't have the resources to fight it.
There seems to be a significant difference between Monster and Bose though. Monster seems to make pretty good stuff that's overpriced, whereas Bose makes an overpriced inferior product.
