There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

If Disney Consumer Products LLC decided to get a bee in their bonnet over all the costume knockoffs they could pick one of these companies at random and tie them up in litigation for years and years to force them into bankruptcy as a warning to all the others. Probably best not to risk it.

I feel like these companies' legal strategy begins and ends with "don't answer the phone"

I seriously doubt it. You can't tie these fly-by-night companies up for years, because at the first sign of trouble they are going to fold. And then walk across the street and start a brand new company. It isn't like Disney can do much of anything to the chinese factories cranking this stuff out.

Besides, those same Chinese factories are making the authentic merch anyway.

I bought my step-dad a knock-off Fidget Cube and it looks exactly the same as the legit one just feels cheaper from the cheaper plastic. I have a feeling they stole the exact mold or whatever.

From what I can remember, a lot of knock-offs happen because the factory that makes the real ones churns them out on the sly.
