The reason things are counterfeited is due to greed on the part of the people doing the counterfeiting. It is market forces that determine the price of goods, not the greed of the genuine manufacturers.
Example - Rolex increases their prices every year at more than the rate of inflation. If you don't like the price, then you don't buy the watch.
By the way do you know how long the wait is for the SS Daytona?
I have always felt that if you know what you are buying, then there is no problem. But who wants to buy fake cancer drugs or engine parts? Nobody. How about a TV with a fake power supply that burns your house down? Nice. I don't think so.
