We bought the card with the belief it is a Sandisk product and they stand behind it. It is more than just someone stealing their name and punching it on a card. There are many reasons why this is bad and to name a few;
1. If too many people bought fake products the "real innovative company" could not stay in business or have the money to create the next best card or phone or anything we surely will want to buy.
2. The cost to us will increase because they have to recoup the lost sales.
3. Buying a fake means we are supporting a black market that is probably supporting illegal activities.
These are not prudish answers. The cost to the consumer is large. It is easy to say they make so much money who cares but if they can't make a profit, if they don't have the money to do research and development, then we lose. Research and development is very costly. On a selfish note I bought a card I thought was made to Sandisk standards. Even if it is working now we will not know how reliable these fakes are in the long term. Current performance will not guarantee future reliability and when it fails who will be their to replace it?
