More Fakes

Not to mention in this case copyright infringement. Chinese, I presume?

Well on the bright side a set like that would be great for kids, dosent really matter what kind of abuse they give them plus it could get some kids into collecting the real thing/ plus other NCLT or numismatics etc ,

Its the fakes that people try to pass off as the real thing is the big issue.

That said it does sort of give you that gut feeling of getting the shaft paying so much for the real thing lol.

And anybody who retails their counterfeits abets them.

I'm not sure what your point is. Things afforded the protection of a trademark, copyright, or patent are the property of somebody who has estblished a right to profit from them as the fruits of their labor or thought. Violation of those protections is theft, pure and simple, whether it occurs in the U.S., Canada, or anyplace else in the world.

With copyright, no other country is allowed to use gun powder except China, because China first invented gun powder.

So, drop all weapons you have with gun powder inside, especially american, please.

You're still not making any valid point. First, inventions aren't covered by copyright, they're patented. Second, patents aren't eternal, they expire. And if those two weren't enough, third, modern firearms employ smokeless powder that has no chemical relationship to what the Chinese ever came up with.

Yeah, it's really FALUBOUS.

Looks like, that conversation changed it's flow from the coins, art, fakes to some political directions.

The fact is simple, with all the respect to the modern researches and the ability of China, specifically these, and many many other ugly fakes came from China. What to do - people like easy money.

Actually, the people who doesn't like our laws (also about copyright and patents) always free to live somewhere else.

Hope, no one take my personally.

By myself I like the idea, when the cheap imitation, "beats" the original, in case if original made just to do the money. But from the side of the law enforcement - the falsificators should be punished, or just legalize their production.
