Believe me, I can relate to the desire for affordable drivers. But in the case of a specific driver being copied and sold cheaply, there is a downside. The eventual result of this dynamic is that R&D goes away (being driven out of business), and with it, product innovation.

Of course, that's the extreme. After all, in this example, we're only talking about one specific driver. But every little bit counts.

The other very real issue is quality control. All things may appear equal, but there may be hidden surprises in those inexpensive drivers.
