The Tabberone™ Archives These articles concern what we consider major trademark and copyright issues. They are usually reproduced with the original source referenced. Bear in mind, these articles are copyrighted and commercial use without permission of the authors may be considered infringement. The intended use here is educational, commentary and non-commercial. The reason they are reproduced in the Tabberone™ Archives, as opposed to just providing a link, is because links disappear and pages are removed. That presents a messy confirmation process that is annoying to the browser (you) but also presents a credibility issue. We do not claim any rights in these pieces. Do not regard the absence of a copyright statement or © to mean the article is not copyrighted. Some sites do not have a copyright statement. When an article or a comment is posted on the internet by the copyright owner, the owner is seeking a world-wide, 24/7 audience; sometimes for a limited amount of time, sometimes indefinitely. In essence, an internet posting intentionally relinquishes one's copyright for exclusivity because the owner has posted it on the internet to been seen by everyone, everywhere. The Tabberone™ Archives non-commercial duplication of the posting is simply a continuance of the original wishes of the copyright owner. We post these articles for reference, for commentary and for confirmarion of our position.

From: Irene Baran [ibaran@Monstercable.com] Sent: Thu 7/11/2002 6:24 PM To: monster@madmartian.com Cc: Subject: Monster Cable Dear Mr. Shkolnik: We want to apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused you with our pending lawsuit against your company and monster.biz. As you may know from reading our site, Monster Cable was started by an entrepreneur, Noel Lee, who was himself a musician. He built up the Monster brand name from nothing, with nothing, 23 years ago and has achieved famous name status. He has taken the brand to mean high quality and high performance, which shows in the products that we make. As your attorney might inform you, to protect Mr. Lee's famous name from dilution, he needs to litigate against any infringers, no matter what the field of business. So our attorneys are instructed to litigate and oppose all trademarks and URLs that use the branding. In conference with Mr. Lee, he shares your entrepreneurial spirit, and he has instructed our attorneys to drop the lawsuit - without relinquishing any of our rights to the name - and go after others who may be diluting the brand name more. You may call him on his personal cell phone line if you like at xxx.xxx.xxxx or email him at xxxx@monstercable.com. Feel free to call me as well at xxx.xxx.xxxx if you would like to discuss the issues further. We wish you Monsterous success with your business. Monsterous regards, Irene Baran Chief Operating Monster [I replaced unpublished numbers with the letter x. -Mike]
