Is there a law against making clones of a device ....?
Trademark? Copyright ? Patent?
Kind of answered this on another forum today.. My look on this has flipped and flopped lately, currently I think to myself that authentics/originals are becoming so expensive that clones really are the only option.... My latest purchase is a prime example I have just ordered a marquis (clone) from ft which is costing me £8 including free world wide shipping now if I bought the authentic it would cost roughly $100 then I would have to pay shipping and probably £20-£30 to get it through customs and so on and so forth..... Now for a device that can be bought for £8 total that is an astronomical saving and kind of brings the authentics cost into question why is the marquis so expensive ? Why is the difference between the one you are looking at so much more than the clone ??? If they made the authentics price point more affordable to begin with, maybe less people would buy clones they make more money and can make the next one even cheaper....
Hi everyone. I have always bought original no matter what I bought. PC's laptops, software etc. I recently viewed a review on a Kayfun v4. It looks great. About $200. Then I see clones for $35-$60. I have ordered a clone but I feel I am cheating the original manufacture. SvoёMesto. Any thoughts.
Good luck with your Kayfun V4 clone. Mine has been miserable experience but I have finally gotten it sorted out... I think. If the original was available in the USA I would have bought one. But Sveomesto's inability to supply the demand drove me to the clone. In my case I got what I paid for. Hopefully your experience will be better. Maybe the originals will be more available later in the year in the meantime I will struggle with my clone.
