Isn't it fraud to sell an item that does not meet spec? As in, the vendor says the product is compliant when it is not.
Don't all the customers then have a legal recourse to return any/all product? Doesn't policing the policy of compliance then become a "non-governmental" function? As far as competition, it would not be out of line for the marketing representative of a compliant company to disuade potential customers from buying noncompliant products by pointing out that fraud between the other vendor and this customer sets a bad tone of a business relationship. One could stretch this to the point of mentioning "complicity". <g> - Robert - Robert A.
