Ali,
I'm a bit surprised that you don't have a problem with people pirating music but you do with branding. Isn't it the same thing? You talk about the problem in NYC about the purse/wallet ripoffs and how you can understand how the designer and the branding company should go after the street vendors. I guess that's your graphics background coming in to play. I wonder how someone like Charlie would feel if someone pirated his music without attribution or restitution.
