I think what happened with Fender is that the Strat became so

Well, look at how many companies are making double cutaway electric
guitars, yet Gibson singled out PRS to go after, and they (Gibson) won.
Maybe they were concerned that the PRS was really a better guitar than
they were selling.

A couple of early Behringer products were carbon copies,

Early ?

The EP amplifiers are a straight rip-off of QSC's RMX circuitry ( I know.
I've compared the circuits.) and even bear a visual resemblance. Sekaku did
it too plus their version was sold under the Tapco brand !

I consider it a shameful disgrace.

Plus Behringer quality is as low as it gets.
