[citation][nom]JonnyDough[/nom]The only way to ever fix these problems is to crack down on governments which have no law or ability to regulate. We also need to crack down on offenders, they're ruining it for everyone. I do not cheat, lie, or steal. Why should I suffer for people that pirate or make fake products? I say those people trying to make a quick deceitful buck should BURN. They used to STONE people for this kind of thing, and with good reason. Strict law is the only law there is. A slap on the wrist penalty means people are willing to take the risk of not getting caught.[/citation]
They're only breaking the law when they make false claims.
It's one thing when people get ripped off on smaller, less expensive things. But the fact of the matter is it's the buyers fault in most cases. Some simple research would get rid of the majority of these problems. There are always going to be people out there try to make a quick buck at the expense of others, punishing them will only deminish how many there are, they will always be there.
But if no one is ignorant enough to fall for it, and people spend some time researching their products and services, no one will be able to make money trying to scam others.
