Blue Jeans lays a smackdown on Monster Cable (1 Viewer)

Next time I need a cable, I am buying from Blue Jeans!

This statement leads me to believe thatMr. Denke must not have shareholders or other (or at least many) purse-string holders calling the shots in his company. Most shareholders, insurance companies, investors, etc. would insist on taking out a license on uninfringed intellectual property if it meant saving even a dollar over fighting the good fight in court.

I consider that unfortunate, and I'm quite glad that Mr. Denke has the freedom and wherewithal to stand up to the litigious bullying that such investor-owner-shareholder fear and acquiescence has fostered.

So where can I buy some of this guy's cables?

Click the link off the HTF home page. Blue Jeans is a forum sponsor.

Okay, now THAT I knew, hence the smiley. Thanks for looking out for me, though. You guys are the greatest. (Seriously.)

from the the guy who posted the interview. see link.

You misunderstood my question. Where does the title in the linked article come from? On what basis does the interviewer know Monster Cable is "shut up"?

After reading the letter, I think Monster Cable is an even bigger scumbag company than I originally thought. Their crap is made in China, using labour so low in cost that it is only one step above slave labour, and they still have the gall to charge 80 dollars or more for a set of cables. Now they go after a competitor in some Bullshit extortion attempt. What is worse is they go after a company that at least still employs Americans to manufacture their cables. I wouldn't cross the street to piss on Monster Cable's headquarters if it was on fire and I sure as hell will never purchase another set of cables from them either.

Last year I built a new house including a new theater. I figured that I would support one of the HTF sponsors. I had Blue Jean cable make up 25' length cables of s-video, component, & HDMI to run from my equipment up front to my projector in back. Very nice top quality cables

I first tried Blue Jeans Cables in 06 when I needed an HDMI cable. I've delt with them several times since, including one return that was processed quickly and efficently. The cables have all been very high quality, and the prices and service both excellant. All this just re-enforces my already very high opinion of them.

I also want to purchase from them because they are a forum sponsor, and have a great reputation for high quality cables, however they seem to be extremely slow in restocking cables. I want to place an order that includes 3 - 3ft HDMI cables which they are out of stock. I emailed them to get an ETA for them to be back in and was told the middle of next month. Trying to decide whether to wait or go somewhere else.

Look for a link to the video under the “Take Action” heading to the right of the page. Among other things, you'll see the humble abode Noel Lee lives in.

Like I posted earlier, I'll never buy another cable from the bastards, and I used to buy quite a few. However, a person cannot help but sense some irony when one follows the boycott video link on the site.
