Interesting but a bit disappointing if you were to order some from Taiwan - sure the originals are expensive but when you factor in R&D time it's the only way they can make money, and ergo continue to come up with innovative products. I'm sure PMW were once hobbyists that decided to try and make it a viable occupation, instantly getting cheap knockoffs of whatever they develop is a great way to kill an independent company.
Not trying to have a personal dig at you (and you did acknowledge the ethical/ maybe illegal part), just feel like this year of all years, independent companies are going to need all the help they can get.

It'd be interesting (and unethical and probably illegal) to send a step from PMW's website to a couple of the Taiwanese prototyping workshops for some quotes.
