I have only authentic KFLs. And while I believe cloning has an element of stealing I also have a feeling the authentic makers don't lose many sales to clones because those who buy clones likely would not spend the big bucks on the originals. And what is an appropriate time to "protect" the designers? Especially in a fast paced market like e-gear. Notwithstanding the earlier conjecture (that I believe is purely speculative and presumptuous) on what SM profit margin is, would if the K4 was priced at $80 instead? Would that wipe out the clone makers? I don't like the element of stealing any more than anyone else. At the same time, I have no sympathy for the authenticaters who charge a hefty price for their product. Don't kid yourself, svoemesto didn't put out these sleek new ads and designs without having made a ton of loot on their 3.1's and KFLs.
Really? Slick ads? My kids could do the same. Since when should you decide their profit margin? How much did you invest in the next batch? What loss will you take if the kf4 is not as popular as expected? Commie talk, I say. Evil. Pure evil.
Come on. If you cannot budget for a kf4, buy something else - not steal. Or save until you can. Or buy something else. Why should anyone shed tears 'cause you cannot afford a Cadillac? The kayfun is a mod, not food.
Just in case I gave the wrong impression, A kf4 might be more valuable than my car, because my car is a complete heap. I only buy what I can, and never steal what I cannot. My priorities. Shame on those that act otherwise.
