One of our customers asked me about my involvement in Behringers new 'Vintage' vsti. Appearently many people are thinking that it is a new version of the Tone2 Saurus plugin. I got asked for several times if I did the graphics or the sound engine. I was pretty shocked to see that my artstyle of the Saurus GUI has been adopted by Behringer.

To make things worse their plugin is freeware and some people said that it has low quality. I am sure it will have a negtive effect on my reputation and sales.
Usually this is the point where I should consider contacting a lawyer. Berhinger once was a German company. However they seem to have moved to 'Malaysia' or somewhere else. I assume to prevent legal trouble with their synth clones. I can't find an imprint with info on their website.
Is there anything we plugin developers can do against Behringer ?
