I haven't read such absolute dribble in a long tme.
It's amazng to me how blindly, patriotic some of us are here at this board. We do nothing but enhance the international reputation of the stereotypical ignorant stupid American with a superior attitude.
When a foreign company allegedly copies a design from an American company with the purpose undercutting the competition and makig a profit, everyone jumps up and down on their red, white and blue soapbox and screams plagarism, and jerk off about how their high morals will never allow them to support such filthy and immoral practices.
However, when American companies do exactly the same thing (need I refer to the budget condensor microphone market, of which a significant number of members here own these budget "copies"...there are MANY other examples, this is just one quickie), everyone gets down off their soapbox and quietly mumble something or other under their breath about competiton being healthy, all's fair in love and capitalism which incedently made this country what it is today, and it serves the foreign company right for having such ludicrously high prices anyway, and by the way, the cheaper "American" copy - usually manufactured in Asia - is a superior product than the original too, etc, etc....
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
