I'm thinking even for cases of like shrinkflation.

I saw an article about potentially cheaper RAM here, so it got me curious if things ever really get better on occasion.

Could be that they don't want people selling knock off shit as real and tanking their reputation. Or it could be assholery.

    Their Stratocaster shape is public domain in the US. They won a court case in Germany for copyright of it and immediately went after any builder selling to Germany.

    It was a total asshole scumbag move. No silver lining, just finance bros destroying a brand.

    I could so understand that! I'm not super familiar with their products beyond looking into things for this post, but I feel like their branding would be on their official products 🤔 If another company is making something similar and using their branding, that would be pretty disastrous.
