"But if the counterfeit is as good as the genuine Apple product then what is the real difference anymore?"
They never are, so this is a worthless question to ask. And if the person actually wanted a genuine Apple product, then the person is still being defrauded.
You're going to have to do a lot better to explain why some rando on Amazon should be able to sell their product as "genuine Apple" when it is not.
- infodroid 10y ago> They never are, so this is a worthless question to ask. I agree that defrauding people is wrong. But why can't counterfeit goods match or even exceed the quality of the so-called originals? We all know there is a huge markup on "original" products that has nothing to do with cost of materials. So they should be capable of at least matching the quality of the original and selling at a discount.
- st3v3r 10y ago"But why can't counterfeit goods match or even exceed the quality of the so-called originals?" Because they don't care enough about that. They want to pump and dump. "So they should be capable of at least matching the quality of the original and selling at a discount." But why do that when you can do what they're doing now, and make even more money? Especially because you know there is no consequence for doing so.
