    Have a look at this. KOSS' take on B&O...

    How desperate are KOSS, stealing a design. It's not just me is it? THIS IS FLAT OUT ROBBERY.

    When i came across this i was angry, but now i am indifferent. 

    I don't believe that this will affect Bang & Olufsen in the slightest, but for those who know and respect B&O, KOSS has just lost alot of respect.

    This is one of the problems.... get copied.

    A few months ago i come across some designer objects who always get copied, like "Arco" from Achille Castiglioni, it's amazing how many products alike that i've seen in the stores, at least in Portugal.

    The problem is: Patent Registration

    Many of the designer object aren't registered worldwide so everyone can make similar objects; in my opinion this should be considered a crime, though.

    This sure is a copy of the A8s, but not a very good one. A8s still look much more elegant than the copy. What about the sound quality? Did anybody already hear them?

     Im trying to put a photo up here of an awful BS9000 copy that i spotted in a tenants house whilst out on an emergency plumbing job this morning.

     The photo just comes out as a little red cross. Am i doing something wrong?

    Yes I have the same problem with posting photos. I can't just copy and paste photos into my message, I can only put photos that are on the internet already by linking to them. Any ideas how to get round this?

    You should be able to post small jpeg files - I'll look into it!

    Peter,

    I'm horrible at this stuff, was trying to put up a few pictures but the files were too big- any idea of an easy way to 'dumb' them down to small JPEG files? Sorry for this!
