What "doesn't pay" exactly?  Imitating a successful product?  Purchasing a
product that serves the same function as another?  Saving money by buying a
cheaper product?  I'm not trying to be facetious (or rude), I just don't
understand what the wrong doing is.

My goal as a consumer is to buy the best product at the best price - it's
the American way.
