No where on this thread have I seen the word COUNTERFEIT used. Clone are legal after market or gray market or generic products. FAKE is just a polite way of say COUNTERFEIT. That is the real issue, is it not?
A fake is NOT a clone, it is COUNTERFEIT....
Let me get this straight....So when you said earlier that -"there has yet to be a clone made(in my experience) that performs as well or better in every test you throw at it. There are always things wrong with clones."- Then your not trashing the clone market? All righty then.

Ohhh lookie, my new avatar
SWEET!
Wrong Wrong Wrong! A clone is an item built to spec and sold as a "same as". A fake or counterfeit is one that pretends to be real when it is NOT. They may or may not be to spec, that is NOT the issue. The fact they represent themselves as a brand name ie, SONY makes them illegal. Tell the Feds that the money you printed is just a clone and not fake or counterfeit and see how that flys.
Some folks are very loose and fancy free with the term "counterfeit"...there are clones, replicas, and then their are counterfeits...they are distinctly different things.... a clone is a similar copy of an original...a replica is an attempt at being 1:1 with the original, right down to the logo and other markings while still being marketed as NOT being an authentic item....no one is trying to fool anyone....a counterfeit is being purposely marketed and sold as an authentic to unwitting buyers by unscrupulous sellers, right down to the price point...geesh!
The difference in counterfeiting money is that it IS an attempt to pass it off as authentic...mod replica makers aren't doing that....they sell them as clones or replicas at a much lower price point.
I'm with you! My first guess is trolls! HAHAHA
Really? You cannot patent a tube? Tell that to the oil industry and the hold Hughes Tool had for over a half a century on the industry. Just a tube used by the thousands to drill for oil and the only ones that could be used on the Hughes drill head were patented by Hughes. Or how about the patented tubes used in BMW fuel systems, the list is endless. Its called a Utility Patent, Issued for the invention of a new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or a new and useful improvement thereof, it generally permits its owner to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention for a period of up to twenty years from the date of patent application filing ++, subject to the payment of maintenance fees. Approximately 90% of the patent documents issued by the USPTO in recent years have been utility patents, also referred to as "patents for invention". If you are gong to mke statements of fact, make sure they are correct.
I'll need a link to that after TYVM
Lets revisit that statement after the Sep 19th vote count (wink)
You remind of the the guy at the Free Clinic when asked why he was there, replied, "This guy on the corner said his 20 dollar whore was just the same as the 400.00 and hour call girl the hotel bell man recommended. "
never been there, but from the little I've gathered it was probably removed LOL
Maybe all of their fucktard tools are here
I'm going to have call bullshit on this one, Twisted did a review on the Authentic Manhattan and FUhattan and Clone the FUhattan had less of a voltage drop and performed better than the authentic. Go watch his youtube video for your self bro.......
I'm with Celtic Fog on this one, How can you have a avatar that says "combat clones" than say you own clones, Your straddling the fence bro....
No problem with owning clones but don't be a hypocrite about it....
