And more than anything I hate when people say, "well some of us can't afford real brides." If you going to just excuse yourself from breaking the law, and hurting a companies profits, why not just rob a convenient store. Same in my book.

I know the poster didn't say anything about money, I just had to rant a little, as we see this all too often in the industry.

Democracy my friend, it is run by competition. I personally like companies that knock off products, it fosters competitive pricing for the real things. If Bride see's everyone buying those cruddy ass knock-offs, they'll lower their pricing to try to stay competitive. If they don't then they'll lose out on the cheap skate market.

I personally wouldn't buy knock-off anything, but then again knock-off companies help out everyones pockets in the short/long run.
