The point that is being made is that if you support manufacturers like ttbit you are only encouraging more companies like this which will discourage innovative r&d from companies to progress miners if they know they are only going to get ripped off.  In other words dont buy knockoffs

It's TRUE and I have no problem paying a little more to the person/company that made the original concept.  Evolution is one thing, but just straight copying is lazy dont you think.  It actually hinders progression since the good companies get discouraged from progressing themselves.

That's one train of thought, or for technology that's easy to duplicate the company with the talent sometimes focuses on other products because the profitability of something isnt there because of the knockoffs.  Good companies go out of business all the time because of these knockoffs.  2 different trains of thought but both correct.
