Behringer threatens Chinese portal website Midifan for describing them as shameless copycats with legal action

Good friend and colleague Nan Tang, founder and CEO from the Chinese portal website Midifan, has received a lawyer’s letter from Behringer last week. Behringer claimed the fact that Midifan repeatedly reporting news about Behringer without any factual basis and using insulting words such as “copycat”, “shameless” has caused the reputation of the four clients (Uli Behringer, MUSIC Tribe Global Brands Ltd, Zhongshan Behringer Electronic Co., Ltd and Zhongshan Ouke Electronic Co., Ltd) to be seriously damaged.

The law firm worked for Behringer also claimed that they have reported to its local public security agency and plans to pursue legal responsibilities through criminal way.

Under the pressure, Midifan has published an apology on their site. English version of the lawyer’s letter:
