Re: The law would appear to be an ass ...
I really don't understand why anyone would buy any mass-produced item (e.g. Apple*, Rolex, Gucci) that costs multiples of currency units more than something much cheaper that does the job better**. I wouldn't have a Rolex (or fake) if someone gave it to me, because the only thing it does better than my £35 watch is say "I'm a wanker" (though in different ways for real v fake). Something truly bespoke, produced because it meets the needs of the buyer, is a different matter.
Please folks - buy based on function
* We do have Apple stuff in this house, but only because they were free (iPad won in a raffle and iPhone passed on for nowt) and Mrs IP, not caring about the labels, needed the items at the time. [I can safely say that, after her experiences with them, they will not be replaced with Apple stuff, even if free!]
** or as well, or maybe even slightly worse.
