Which supports my theory that it is important for us as consumers to do the right thing and spend our dollars with the originators and help support risk takers artists and innovators especially in our "little" world
Authentic makers sueing Cloners?

What??
So, everything you buy is the most expensive one you can find without regard to whether it is actually the one that fits your needs within a budget you set? Really?
If I could like this a million times ...
Right, and regardless of who is making the clone be it a fully automated CNC machine fed by a robot in a factory that employs Mr. Jetson himself or a thousand 6 year old kids with files and sections of pipe laying around beside a dirt road China is winning.

That's 67 billion in one month, that is unacceptable. We don't put that kind of money into our own problems in an entire year.

Not really.. ones a garden hose, the others a hydraulic hose. Very different design considerations.
Depends on what you put on the ends of the hose.
Maurice
Edit: sounds like a MIL SPEC garden hose to me, LOL.
Now really Midnite you had me with your very reasonable debate but how can you parse this out? He points out using a different manufacturing process why there are differences in our industry it is a very well pointed out example of why a tube and switch is not just a tube and switch
Sure, if you want a $20+ a foot hose to water your garden... But if you use a garden hose for a 8000psi hydraulic application, it wont be pretty.
Failed morals predate failed policies, we the lowly people need to restructure that first, the policies will follow.
Maurice
? Different applications is why. We, here in this thread, are talking about holding a specific size battery with a specific voltage and supplying that voltage to a coil using a specific standard connection. Watering a garden and washing your car is vary different than supplying 8000psi to a hydraulic piston or motor.
In other words: Very different design considerations
Depends on whether you can draw parallels to the idea that different manufacturing processes produce different results. I suppose if one believes a chi clone is the same as a Chi Authentic then the argument falls short. but if someone understands there are different metals used and different tolerances and different specs then this example highlights the fact that while it may look the same the process and end result are different.
yes different considerations but the point is there are different standards to produce what looks like the same thing? Different applications is why. We, here in this thread, are talking about holding a specific size battery with a specific voltage and supplying that voltage to a coil using a specific standard connection. Watering a garden and washing your car is vary different than supplying 8000psi to a hydraulic piston or motor.

Read post 673 above. Your already weak argument was soundly rebutted before you could make it.
It also took a team of engineers, 1000's of man hours and 10's of 1000's of ft. of scrap to develop the product. Imagine how corporate would feel if after we spent so much time and money developing said product, a Chinese company reverse engineered it and sold it for a fraction of what we sell it for? All of our product lines are patented, yet the only thing from keeping a PRC company from reverse engineering our product lines is that our customers won't buy from us unless it is made in the USA...

That's how you know they're trying not to lose the debate. Next stop, grammar police!
The hydraulic hose to garden hose analogy was pointed at illustrating that while a mod is a tube with threading not all tubes with threading are mods.
One is not a clone of another, they are different by design.
