larsenea Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Now that "PUNK" shirt I like better than the "PUMA". Check out the hair on that cat! Link to comment
david_dawei Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 When the Jesuits briefly had both feet in the door of the middle kingdom during the 1500s, they noted the chinese mastery of "knock-offs" and imitations... and said this was clearly a trade which had matured over hundreds of years... Some are now seeing it for the first time... but it is maybe a 800 year tradition.. if not more Link to comment

Sebastian Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Some of the comments were interesting: Many Chinese either don¡¯t know, don¡¯t understand, and/or just don¡¯t care the importance of intellectual property protection. Intellectual property protection (patents, copyright, trademark, and trade secrets) will encourage people to be innovative. The Chinese is just creating laws with regards to patents. But like everything else in China, it gets caught up in politics and corruption. Who wants to shut down a factory that makes counterfeit products if 1,000 people are going to be out of work? In U.S. , Europe, and Japan, they won¡¯t hesitate to shut down counterfeit manufacturers because they know that more jobs are created by innovation than by counterfeiting. And it¡¯s the good kind of jobs too. and There is no such thing as most ¡¯shanzhai¡¯ ~ only more ¡¯shanzhai¡¯~The Chinese people is greatChinese people¡¯s creativity is limitlessLong live the Chinese people~Resolutely attack legitimate products, support pirate products~ I do note that this 'entry' is copied from elsewhere, and is 2 years old.

Smitty Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 The PUNK one is most likely a deliberate parody product. A few years ago, there was the story about the Chinese gang that set up a factory, hired engineers, and all that stuff to produce the pirate products. The personnel that were doing the work thought that they were actually working for the Japanese company, and only found out when the police raided the factory. The police found out because people were taking their broken devices in for service, and the service people didn't know what the devices were, so they sent them to the factory service centers. The company contacted the police, and it went from there. Link to comment

rogerluli Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 One interesting thing about this is the recent ban on lip syncing... Evidently any kind of faked product is okay but you better not just be mouthing along... Link to comment
Sebastian Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 George - counterfeit copies are rampant in China, exported around the world. Is Huge Police action outside of China to capture and stop the goods. If yer just now finding out about this, well hei - it's about time. Link to comment
