Easy way to help with that is to not use Amazon.

That’s not always possible, but I do avoid it when it’s possible.

I know. No judgement, I just encourage people to ditch that thing whenever they can. I canceled my prime almost 2 years ago once I noticed their anti-union activities, and don’t miss it. But every once in a while it’s literally the only place I can find something.

Maybe. That’s one of the economic motives I mentioned. China follows the principle of territoriality in IP protection, leading to outright infringement in every industry. When a product line has completed manufacture, the factory will make some modifications to material quality and begin producing counterfeits around copyright to flood the market and eventually dilute and undercut the original manufacturer’s product line out of business.
