Burberry had like 200 years in business without target producing a similar print. Should they get exclusivity over their design until the end of time —from a moral standpoint? As I said, let the lawyers sort it out , it’s not some every day person’s cause. It’s not a moral crisis and the ethics of business are already horrible, billions are exploited and hungry thanks to the global economic system, whether the company is large or small. I just wish people would go find a real cause. You could take down Behringer and it would do nothing to reduce the mass suffering in the world
Also, Roland takes them to court all the time, Mutron did, and sequential is trying to get their own trade dress protections for the prophet. They see what they can get away with and then change according to what the courts order. It’s obviously not admirable or anything but if you don’t like it, what you dislike is not Behringer but a world in which giant companies are allowed to exist in the first place. You can’t tame the beasts within capitalism, they find a way to take control of governments and rewrite the rules for themselves every time.
