The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in California, alleges Beats co-founders music mogul Jimmy Iovine and rapper Dr Dre pirated the "Beats By Dr Dre" headphone line from Monster and its CEO Noel Lee. The defendants "made millions off the work of Monster and Lee, while the plaintiffs lost millions," according to a statement from Monster's law firm Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy.
