There has been case law on this subject in all

The law varies from country to country.

However since many Behringer products are slavish
copies of their competition,
I'd like to know how they can claim copyright for
something that's not theirs in
the first place !


As far as I know, the details vary, for instance what is
fair use in one place is not necessarily fair use in
another.


Don't give any care to what G says


Oh Boy, someone wound George up again.

he has admitted to stealing qsc's mechanical designs


No, but Behringer has come pretty darn close to doing that.

and admitted to being party to studiomaster stealing phase
linear designs


No, but Behringer has pretty well done exactly that with the EP 2500 and the
corresponding QSC RMX.

So what? The QSC RMX is based on patented technology whose patents have run
out. That means that the basic RMX circuit designs are in the public domain.
That is how the patent system works - the guy with the patent gets exclusive
rights for a certain number of years, and then the cat is out of the bag.
