Monster Fishkeepers Sued by Monster Energy Drink

[Linus_Cello]

Monster Energy drinks is claiming that Monster Fish Keepers is infringing on their copyrights. Though the drink company has a weak case against Monster Fish Keepers, the legal resources available to the drink company could allow them to essentially bankrupt Monster Fish Keepers in a legal battle.
Mayhaps we can help out another fish forum site?

If Monster Energy thinks that its consumers will mix up energy drinks and big fish, it just goes to show then the intelligence of its customers.
