I am sure that you have seen counterfeit Apple iPhones (and iPods) floating about on Craigslist, eBay, and perhaps even on the streets, depending on where you live. All of these fakes originate from China or Taiwan, and it is no wonder since copyright laws are nearly impossible to enforce in these nations.
