I have no problem with Behringer. Synth companies (and music companies in general for that matter) have copied each other for decades. Others have copied synths and filters with software but somehow it never gets as much flack.

As far as business practices? Every company sucks to some extent…even the good ones. It isn’t worth my time to vet companies when I can’t even find where the sourced components originate. I buy what sounds good and works for my work flow. Also…all of the Behringers in our house are used…so I didn’t even give them money to begin with. We have one life to live…there is only so many things one can worry about without going mad.

But if you want to boycott Behringer, then have at it. I can understand the concern and hesitation.
