>The fashion industry is highly reliant on trademark. I don't think many would say this is better. I say it's better. How is it not? If someone wants to spend $$$$ on a dress from some well-known designer because they want to show off their wealth, then that's fine. Other people who don't care about the brand name can spend $$ on a near-copy of that dress and look just as good, without spending so much money. If there's enough suckers out there to keep the expensive brands in business, without needing copyright laws to protect them, I don't see the problem here at all.
