Behringer cracks me up

Yes, but how many cars are derivative of other car designs? How many
guitars look exactly like a Stratocaster? There IS a derivative
character to the free market. On the other hand, Behringer steps over
the line quite often.
I think what happened with Fender is that the Strat became so
ubiquitous that it lost its ability to claim damage. And you had a
few companies gingerly shipping strat copies, and when the sky didn't
fall it eventually became the 500 companies doing it today, and that's
that. Sort of the reverse with Behringer, which is a single company
which oddly does in fact have its own look which one can identify
certain lines with, yet they seem to still have a yen for making
products that you have to look three times at to make sure they aren't
an old favorite, and I can't think of anyone else doing it.
