Hi Gary,
You're allowed to have an opinion, but so are the rest of us. I agree
with Joe -- vendors who steal designs ought to be condemned. Behringer
established a reputation for doing that a decade or so ago, and the pro
audio community condemned them (as did at least one court). Those who
buy cheap stuff from unknown vendors should not be surprised when it
turns out to be stolen or junk. Elecraft sells USB to serial interface
cables of known good quality. The real stuff usually does cost more than
junk.
I serve on an international Standards Committee (the Audio Engineering
Society) with representatives of several very good manufacturers who
have told me of their problems with counterfeits, and most of it is
junk. For example, connectors that don't mate because their dimensions
are wrong, and mics that look like the real thing but don't sound like
the real thing.
