   in the near future counterfeiters will be releasing bootleg electronics products weeks before the legitimate item is available to the public and the counterfeit will be good enough to not garner any complaints from purchasers. this speaks equally to the quality of the counterfeiters and the quality of the originals.

      would your neighbor across the street know the difference between an LG Smart TV and an LG monitor with a raspi on the back running an LG-ish looking front end and a handful of "apps" they expect?

         cases are now at the "scan and print in parallel" level of replicability at "close enough" resolution for small money (relative to the cost of setting up, say, an injection molding facility).

         copying each others' looks and feels has become the specialty of huge sections of the UI/UX world.

         it's just around the corner.

            always remember, oreos are counterfeit hydrox, not the other way around, despite appearances today
