David, that's $100 per month, per franchise . Monster mini-golf currently has 24 franchises = $2400 per month to Monster Cable.

What I don't understand is, Monster Cable says "This lawsuit was never about the money.....It’s about the protection of our trademarks." YET, for a fee (ahem), they are willing to let Monster Mini Golf use that trademark they wish to "protect." Hmmm?

Monster Cable says:

"Monster Mini Golf is not small Mom-and-Pop business. In fact it is seemingly well funded national organization selling franchises with the Monster trademark that currently goes across 10 states..." [sarcasm]WOW! 24 golf courses in 10 states out of 50. They really are HUGE aren't they?[/sarcasm]

"...we are not a faceless corporate giant out to squash legitimate business concerns and rising entrepreneurs. We are in fact, a family-owned company..." OK, you're a family owned faceless corporate giant out to squash legitimate business concerns and rising entrepreneurs."

"We have always tried to provide our customers with the highest performance products at an affordable price."

I agree with Mark. If Monster Cable sold their product at reasonable prices, the public reaction to all this wouldn't be nearly as vociferous.
