It's not ignorance, it's way too willful for that.
We know about local taxes, safety standards, patent and trademark licensing and the human and ecological damage caused by irresponsibly sourced materials... but happily ignore all of it because we save 30% off the co-branded resale imports, and 80% off the branded original.
It's not ignorance, it's the unadulterated marriage of consumerism and capitalism. Calculated greed.
