Assuming they designed it, who's paying for all their R&D and design costs, their time spent sourcing a manufacturer, their marketing?
Of course a stolen design is cheaper - the cheats have not spent $x developing the product, they've just duplicated the manufacturing part, the relatively easy bit. The fact that a Chinese knock-off still costs as much as it does is more of a crime.
Is there a half way house for me- a durable scale that isn't a knockoff and doesn't cost more than £50?
