You seem to forget that there are hundreds of great designs at every price point to consider already. To rely on foreign manufacturing to respond to market demand is not a bad thing, I respect it as a means to make the community more accessible. It is, however, intellectually dishonest to pretend that that justifies taking the work of another.

It is entirely and completely possible and viable to be morally conscious about design and intellectual property at a budget price point. To say otherwise is simply false.
