Yes, I do believe that there are companies who steal intellectual properties. My post was related to intellectual properties and not where it is made. It doesn’t matter who steals from whom, whether its US based company who steals from non US company or the other way around. The company that designs products invests lot into their design and testing. More over these companies spend lot in making sure that their product stands by their specifications and meets industry standards. I was a Design and Application engineer and I know what goes into a product development.
It’s naïve to think that this does not happen. Recent dispute between Apple and Samsung is one example. And just don’t forget the lady who got electrocuted with fake iPhone charger!
Before you vent your frustration, read the post and understand, my message did not mention anything about labor abuses. What “politics” are you talking about? My point is just plain and simple; before I put my money, I will do my best to make sure it does not go to thieves. It is not always easy or simple, but when someone is selling for half price, it raises a red flag!
This is

for those who steal!
