Whats great about the aftermarket industry in Japan is that everyone knows everyone. And if you catch your friend doing something that is not tolerated, he will get SMACKED. I've heard so many stories of how "less-than-friendly" people will take care of shops that even attempt to copy, say, a BN Sports kit. Its an unspoken law; if you cross the wrong people, there will be retaliation.
I sometimes wish we could utilize those "laws" here, and call it "tough love"
