Which is unfortunate. I can't say that I am suprised by this though. It was just a matter of time.
The irony though, is that no one will know the backlash of this. I mean if they sell it at $42 or so.. then thats $13 cheaper. So the question is, will people prefer the 'moral' high road and be out the money, or just opt for a proven design.

I don't see how they could sell one for $40ish and make money on them. Thats a hell of a lot of milling on that not to mention the tops. I would bet, if they make it to market, they will be around $55-$60.
Also most people don't know the background of the White Water to even make a moral decision on it. If they where informed then I would bet most people would take the moral route (maybe optomistic). I am sure we buy stuff every day under the same circumstances. :shrug: We do know the background but I doubt the majority of people buying WC gear have any clue what so ever.
