americans and their suing crap like crapple
but Copyrighting shapes is silly, all large over-ear headphones are going to have the same generic shape, 2 cans and a headband. yes beats are selling the look but trying to sue is almost as daft as say... apple trying to patent a rectangle with rounded corners.

In all honesty, I think beats actually have a point there...
I find it amusing that a correlation between apple and beats was made.
This only re-enforces what we all suspected - beats are only interested in profits, not sound.
If they were certain of the superiority of the sound quality of their product, they would let the public decide by ear.
But their business model is based on merchandising, branding and marketing. They've created something to make people believe they need it.
There have been a small number of other headphones from VERY small companies that have similar looks to the beats, but as previously mentioned, as soon as a high-roller comes along it's a different story.
What is wrong with any of this?
