Submission + - Monster Cable uses bogus DMCA again (techdirt.com)
chimpo13 writes: "As it says on Techdirt, "It's no secret that Monster Cable is a notorious abuser of intellectual property laws often just to try to get any other company using "Monster" anywhere in its name to pay up. Of course, it's normally trademark law that it abuses. However, it looks like it may be abusing copyright law as well. The website Jaxed, which is a meta-classifieds search engine (it searches Craigslist, eBay and a few other sites via a single interface) recently had its entire site taken down after Monster Cable filed a DMCA notice against the site." Jaxed still isn't letting people search electronics. They say, "Due to a DMCA copyright notice received on Nov. 2nd 2010, we are currently filtering all Monster Cable products from our listings. Unfortunately, the filter is excluding other listings that may not contain Monster Cable products.""
