I just can't help but notice that it always seems to depend on who is copying whom.
Seems like there is all sorts of moral outrage when SOME people get copied...and then it's no big deal when others get copied.
Some real double standards here.
Nobody seems to want to answer the question about BVM. I know, it's an uncomfortable question, and it totally shoots down your argument. Sorry for that.
Me...I'm more sangine about the whole thing. I'm not shouting "plagarism" and calling people names for buying Chinese knockoffs.
I think comparing the 'outsourcing by Skymaster' is not the same as comparing BVM outsourcing to China. SM is based in that region, so wouldn't that be more like BVM outsourcing to Alaska? Not that it matters. All I know is that my F-15 is identical to the one on the side, down to every last detail, and that disturbs me. I'm supporting SM with my purchase AND my voice. I don't see anything wrong with that.
