‘Theft’ is the wrong word
‘Theft’ is the wrong word though:
Theft is defined as the physical removal of an object that is capable of being stolen without the consent of the owner and with the intention of depriving the owner of it permanently
Personally, I’m not a fan of
Personally, I’m not a fan of intellectual ‘property’ (and technically, you cannot ‘steal’ it as the originater still has it) as it tends to be massively abused e.g. Disney’s never-ending copyright battle to prevent Mickey Mouse from ever entering the public domain. I’m also not a fan of having public police resources used to protect private, corporate interests but that boat sailed a long time ago.

Whereas disrespecting international law is entirely unknown outside of China **cough**Tories**cough**
Top tip, if you like Spanish wine, go for the Crianza over the Reserva or Gran reserva (as a general rule). The terms refer to period of aging, not necessarily the quality of the wine. As most Spanish buy Crianza it gets more attention when being made. Equally Vin de Mesa doesn’t mean cheap crap either.I’m not really a wine drinker, so I couldn’t really say which regions or grapes/styles of wine I prefer (I try to avoid French wine just because I assume that it’s over-priced). I’m far more discerning when it comes to either cider or rum.
But how is this race to the bottom allowed to thrive? Who is driving demand for cheap tat? And how can I get the highest quality at rock bottom prices?- Market forces
- Customers
- Don’t buy the cheapest. It’s like with buying wine – always go for the second cheapest although some places are wise to that, so maybe go for the third cheapest.
Just had a look. No theft of IP and branding going on there then! I guess that’s the risk of outsourcing production to a kleptocracy. Makes you wonder whether that’s why so many Italian brands have been building their own Chinese factories in Italy.Kleptocracy? Isn’t it just an example of pure capitalism in action (i.e. no government backed “intellectual property”) and a race to the bottom in terms of quality?

It came up on my Twitter as “Britain’s approach to Brexit negotiations.”why was the guy filming?
Looks like someone is videoing their CCTV camera (there’s a timestamp and “outside” shown at the top), so they most likely had the incident recorded and didn’t know how to get the video from their CCTV onto Twitter so just used their phone.

Fraud?? How dare you? these are honourable people just trying to make a difference! Retract, or I shall demand satisfaction!
I must have inadvertently hit the keyboard whilst coughing – I have literally no evidence that there was any intention to defraud Indiegogo punters with a product that doesn’t work as promised.

I’m currently using DHB Flashlight Thermo bib tights in a medium and they seem to fit fine – 6’1 with 34″ leg (two, actually) and around 34″ waist.
“hingedly” is surely not an actual wordI think you’ll find that it’s a perfectly cromulent word. Maybe you need to embiggen your vocabulary?
