[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 437317, member: 13702"] Calm down there Herr Donald - no one but you is asserting theft here. PATRIOT already mentioned he has a 30 yr old unit that looks exactly the same as the motor in question - which even if copied directly puts it long past any patent on the design would have expired and they are not miss-using any trademarks on the housing. To steal in "intellectual property" you would somehow have to usurp the ownership of the patent or trademark, which is never the case with counterfeiting. By making counterfeit goods they may be ignoring or infringing upon intellectual property rights, but they're not "stealing" anything. [/QUOTE]
