   In the latest Mac Addict there is a pair of shoes with the Apple Logo on them – this is I am sure what they are talking about.

   It’s a blatent rip off.

   can you scan it and post a link? I googled these guys but none of the logos I’ve seen look that similar.

   That’s what they get for doing business in China. If it’s “bad karma” to steal music, it’s “bad karma” to do business in a country where people are still punished for their personal faith and/or political views.
   I do not blame Apple for trying to protect their logo, but they should not do business or in with “Red China”.

   Oh well, that’s the USA out for me then.

   NoPCZone:
   My heart is with you but doing business in China is almost a must for any major corporation looking to the long-term. China is just too big a market, and going to be the biggest fairly soon. These days they’re more “pink” then “red”–though that is probably faint comfort to the political prisoners in their gulags. For the time being, those doing business there must “hold their nose,” while also hoping that they are really contributing to opening up their society.

   Guandong Apples……. OH THEM!!!! Hey, the two things that always pop into my mind when you say Apple are computers and, of course, Guangdong.

   China has used it’s economic clout so as to blind the commercial sector into prostituting themselves to China. Make no mistake, the economy of China has changed, but the Communist Party is still in full control. Torture, execution and imprisonment for membership in non-approved faith-groups or expression of political views is still more common than anybody would like to admit.
   Many of the prisons holding “prisoners of conscience” have factories that produce components or products sold all over the world. If the United States as a government and as a people cannot stand up for what is right on this kind of thing, maybe we should turn out the lights on the lady in the New York Harbor.
   We should not make money/save money via human misery. I am no bleeding-heart liberal, wrong is wrong. This cuts to the most basic fabric of our values as a people. I will gladly pay more for products made elsewhere.

    I’m not quite sure how the Guangdong Apples Industrial Co., Ltd. logo is so similar to <a href=”http://www.dakroland.com/applelogos/images-2.jpg”>the Apple Computer, Inc. logo.<a/> They look distinct enough to me.

    Personally, I don’t care if Apple wins this one. It’s nice to own such a common image, so that every time someone sees a profile of an apple the think of your products, but it wouldn’t bother me if Apple’s ownership of apple profiles was somewhat limited in scope.

    The problem with that is, the owner of the logo has the right to profit from the image invoked by the logo. The owner of the logo must also protect him/her/itself from the use of it so that when an inappropriate/questionable product/service or a product/service with bad quality appears, the owner can’t be associated with it. That is what trademark law is for.

    The same applies for Gucci, Mercedes, MacDonald’s, etc..

    NoPCZone, you’re right, of course, and we should definately voice our opinions and send out dollars (not quite US ones in my case) to products made under good conditions.

    I did notice, however, on the bottom of the box that my G5 came in a stamped label indicating my computer’s origin, (no not the one that say designed in California), but the mone that says MADE IN CHINA.

    Apple designs good computers, which is why I have one, but they’re NOT the good guys.

    sorry about all the errors.

    “out” in the first line should be “our”

    “mone” should say “one”

    If Miscrosoft had a logo that represented something common and conspicuous what would it be, I wonder?

    Are Guandong related to Wang Chung? I thought they were relatives.
