Had an enquiry for some Sparco belts the other day. Guy says he has seen them on ebay for 1/3 the retail price. They are copies of course.
The economy in the last few year has made everyone try to save a few quid so they will not pay proper money for anything so they end up buying substandard products most of the time.
We have a strict retail pricing policy on some stuff and limited to a few specialist dealers to protect the brand, stop copies etc.
More should do it.

I'm pretty sure that China is one of the few last remaining countries that does not have copyright laws full stop. You can have anything made there.
