I am truly surprised at some of the responses here. Whether anyone in any geography can make a decent product is not really the issue. I know for a fact that legitimate firms across the globe are capable of quality manufacturing. And if those manufacturers market and sell using their own IP and brand- All good.
The issue is IP and brand equity theft-profiting off of another’s earned reputation and technology. Those of you in favor of this, I assume you are ok with having your identity stolen, your credit rating tarnished, and your personal reputation trashed?
I will buy cheaply made items when it suits me, but I won’t knowingly participate in theft. Call me Pollyanna.
