There are lots of small, real importers. If they have to compete with someone selling stolen goods, it kills their profits and their ability to pay. Say you are importing 20,000 televisons a year and paying for them. Apex or someone dumps 50,000 TVs on the market. How do you sell the inventory you already have ? This can make you a slow pay to your supplier. Next year you order only 10,000 TVs... *********** The people who stole also used the stolen goods as a hammer to hurt the legitimate importers - so the factories get hit twice - one by the theives, then when thier long term partners have their business damaged by the theives. ************************************ I don't see where the US governemnt gains with this. Prehaps soem of these people ecould be extradited to China for trial...take the pressure off expensive US prisons ;-) ************************************** How badly to you want to complain about the patent system ? Why not get on the good end... GemStar Nvidia TSMC going back to An Wang...(core memory)
