I know it's easy for some to care less for these larger successful company's profit margins, but I'm betting they struggle more than most of us realize to innovate, and our community would be worse off without them. I'm not saying I've never bought a knock-off product, but if/when I did, I was not actively aware of it being a copy.

Over the years I've grown to realize that supporting knock-off companies discourages innovative companies from creating new products for us. Eventually some legit companies DO go out of business as a result, and we all suffer...even the copy cats.
