those guys can suck it, maybe i will go down to one monster sugar free a day?
it would be one thing if the logos looked the same but they dont. i hate it when big money pushes others around, like when gene simmons sued king diamond because they both wear paint on their face.75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish

I'm a mod over at Aquaria Central, one of the sites in the Monster Aquaria Network. The logos are similar only in that they're both "M". Anyone with enough sense to count past ten with his shoes on won't confuse the two logos. Li, the owner of the sites is a nice guy and is being harassed for no reason other than a money grab. I never drank one of those energy drinks and won't ever.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

is Li based in the US? I wouldnt think that monster would have much leverage against an international site.75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish

Monster has been at this for several years. There was an interesting case against a Vermont based brewery that put out 'Vermonster' a while ago. Long story short, the Vermont brewery stood up to Monster Energy and won. It is unfortunate that they had to hire an attorney.
For now, Monster Energy hasn't sued the Monster Aquaria network . . . they've only sent out a cease and desist letter. It is just a bully tactic. If Li hires a lawyer (or knows one through MFK), then she can get him to draft a letter stating 'No --- Screw you'. This should be enough to show Monster Energy that MFK is willing to spend moeny to protect themselves, and will win (precedent has already been set) should a legal entanglement ensue.
Li can do so without representation, but the energy conglomerate is more like to try to continue to bully the site.Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.

Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.
