Ahhh i see your point about "in private", i agree with you wholeheartedly then, glad we cleared up that misunderstanding!

And yes, absolutely, plagiarism is disgusting.. but in places like China or other countries where brand names arent so accessible, honest people feed their families doing hard work manufacturing, moding, and selling copycat hardware, so my perspective seems to be a bit biased as it is a perspective that is empathetic of those people as well. Idk guys, I guess i don't only see the SFF Niche/Boutique Original designers as "the little guy" i love to defend, but also the foreign copycats of their work, too.

But i will say i wouldn't support a copycat, i would support the original designer and side with them when it comes to ethical and legal matters, but i guess I'm just too much of the "universal defense force" "everyone deserves a chance" kinda person... :/ $:\$
