Our company is presently in a legal wrangle over a Chinese company selling duplicate hardware. The hardware schematics and software sources were all illegally obtained through various deliberate and illegal practises. They were turning a $3bil/yr business based upon selling items that were direct hardware and software copies of our products, right down to the exact same bugs and bug reports, which is how it was all uncovered in the end.

By our friend Lothar5150's ethical standards, that's all perfectly acceptable because the market was ripe for picking due to our company's efforts.
