Let me ask you this
alien. Would you work for free? Are you willing to go to your boss and tell him you no longer want to be paid for your work?
When you
buy a clone made from stolen designs that's pretty much what your forcing on the original designer. He/she makes nothing for the work they did. Also by purchasing that clone you are tacitly supporting and condoning theft.
That is why a lot of us refuse to
buy clones (counterfeits) regardless of how good that clone may be. We believe the designer should get paid for what they did.
