^ This is such a sad reflection on what some consider hard business but it is just immoral.

I think Jaycar just lost me as a customer there, forever.

It's unfortunate for the small business operator.

The Japanese copied everything the Europeans built except they built it reliably & without oil leaks. Perhaps not as blatant as today or this particular example.

He can't stop it . Unless he patents his creation ,maybe. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with patent laws. So take that with a grain of salt.

I'm just a hard immoral bastard. I have very little sympathy.
Mind you this kind of stuff is petty . Corporate business is cutthroat.the bulshit business practices that go on are incredible. Everybody gets away with so much crazy stuff. Kind of puts this into the irrelevant basket.
Then everyone has an angle . Because they have an agenda

It's like "guns don't kill people" well literally that's correct but practically.....I can't get over the lunacy.

Ohhhhh damm were now talking guns

What about that flux capacitor & attaching it to Megasqurt?

Perhaps in the Launch controll?

you can't help but feel sorry for this guy in the video, will make me reconsider purchasing items through Jaycar.
must be common practice there, imagine how Doc Brown feels they even used photos of his flux capacitor when ripping it off lol :wink:

I bought my nephew that Freetronics kit last month and he loves it.

While I have in the past bought the individual Duinotech components, and probably will continue to do so, I find it incredibly low for them to blatantly copy a packaged product (ie. one with multiple components) verbatim, including the manual.

There really needs to be some simple level of protection in cases like these, going to court is not an option for most people.
