Well bootlegging is one thing, but what HTFR is doing isn't
bootlegging, it's counterfeiting. It's no different from what's
happening to Rolex watches and Louis Vuitton bags. Only where Asians
are producing cheap, low quality knockoffs because of otherwise very
expensive originals, HTFR are producing very expensive low quality
knockoffs because of otherwise unavailable originals.
For Rolex and LV I can understand it's difficult to find the culprits.
But for Carl, Derrick and all the others who have been ripped off by
these crooks, it should be quite a lot easier. They know exactly who
they are.... And it's not that they're so p*ss poor they can't afford a
lawyer are they? Especially when it's such a clear case theyre going to
win. So why they haven't done anything yet is beyond me. Let's hope
it's only a matter of time.

so to conclude, all i can say is that its the *consumers* who decide,
whether to keep crooks like HTFR in business by buying their stuff, or
instead buy conscientiously and showing that there isnt a market for
illegal
bootlegs. it's a buyer's market so to speak...
exactly my point fabrizio, my scooter driving, lady chasing, spaghetti
loving, boring football teams friend.
