[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 281752, member: 1969"] A $700 phone that equals about $50 in actual goods, labor and product, $300 in mark-ups and $400 in various taxes, you mean, right? ;) Since people aren't normally [i]paying[/i] $700 for the phone, its worth hasn't been established as that amount. You can't steal something that doesn't exist, unless you take the taxes/import values/etc, which only matter at time of sale, anyway (at the amount of $700, that is, which hasn't happened)...so all someone is really doing is taking eggs from the government and there's a potential loss of chickens. The Sweatshop electronics laborers in Sri Lanka are ashamed of us. :lol: [/QUOTE]
