Counterfeit Chinese Cables

It SEEMS so true what you just said... So true...😊

But once this is said ...

How about the patents on the human genomes by Gates and others and how about patenting the seeds and after that being able to sold them after to the "poors" of africa erasing their traditional way of living and destroying their traditional seeds ?

Legal dont means legitimate , it seems ... So argued Vandana Shiva from India😁

Patent is legal not always legitimate ... For sure cable patent are not seeds patent ...But we discuss about patents in general here because you just claim that science will stop without "patents" ... I dont think so myself by the way ...but i cannot enter this matter here ...

Without patent the so useful research about viruses by corporations will go away for sure and many others criminal stranglehold by corporations on all aspects of life... Who control the "patent" office by the way ?

And what about the patent on A. I. by corporations more powerful than nations ?

In the same way, if someone cannot afford "the patent" price, nor the "patented" product then he cannot eat, or afford the price of education, nor he cannot be cured ; We must stay legal and patent must be respected or all the progress wheel will stop ...

But this wheel of progress turn for the benefit of whom now ?

Is it really true that without "patent" the wheel of progress will stop ? Is it not instead the way we understand "profit" which will be modified ? Research will not stop ...

Just questions i throw, because i am not so sure about this claim validity...And some here are so sure not only about patents as they are legally constituted (a legitimate status versus his official legal status) but they are so sure about the moral status of everybody here in a very clear classification ...😁

I must be a confused mind or are they simplistic mind ?... 😊

My questions are here but it is better for me not to judge anybody ...

I dont see myself too my own beam when reading about the straw in their eyes...

I was thinking aloud...

Interestig how people are arguing that intellectual property doesn’t exist. Without patents and IP rights, research would go away.

Admission: I didn't read through the 17 pages. 

POV: I've been into many hobbies that have had Chinese counterfeiters infiltrate. One is cycling. I knew a guy that bought a counterfeit Specialized bike frame. It looked exactly like the real thing, and he had guessed that it was made at the same plant that they make the official Specialized frames and he was basically getting the real-deal, but without the manufacturer and dealer profit margins and warranty costs baked in. On a fast downhill in the first month, the frame folded like a lawn chair, and he now has several fake teeth. 

I've seen umpteen similar failures in a number of industries of fakes (though none involving lost teeth). 

So, what could happen with the same defects in cables? Nothing? Bad sound? Blown speakers or electronics? Fire? Seeing the catastrophic failures of other counterfeit products, I am not going to risk my equipment or house. I'd rather use cheap cables that are fully tested from a reputable company, than knockoffs.

Very wise advice and no moral judgement about specific people here ...Thanks...

We must be very cautious about counterfeit tools, vehicles, amplifier, etc indeed ...

What about a counterfeit high designer "tie" now and calling someone who bought it knowingly "immoral" ?

I will not judge anyone ...It is too easy ...

I prefer a wise advice as spawn350 just gave one ...

By the way i never bought costly cables , counterfeit or not; acoustics and my own experience  taught me that the difference between cables when it exist is minimalistic compared to any embeddings controls ...

Great cables do not have to cost huge prices. I recently added a pair of Anti-cables to my system.. Cambridge transport, Denafrips DAC, CJ tube pre, Classe amp. Very clear full detailed sound. Affordable US made wires.

@rwclay : I use anticables for my speaker cables. I also use their zero autoformers between my tube amps and my Magnepans. Great products. Are you using their ICs..? I’m interested in trying them out.
