Yep, copies I can now afford and enjoy. That's capitalism for you.
It's just like anything else. If you can afford the original, artisanal, and perhaps superior stuff, that's what you do. If you can't, then you buy the copies, the generic, the clones.
The way of the world my dear.
I agree. Also, if the originals aren't available, and when they are they are available in limited quantities, what's the use? How can we, the regular folks, even try these originals if they can't be had easily? Most people can't shell out the money for these originals anyway.
