The guys arguing about the ethics of this are missing the point entirely. This has nothing to do with morality or what is right and wrong. Excessive counterfeiting is the endgame for the current way Wizards handles the rising price of staples, simple as that. You can condemn or justify it as much as you want but that is completely moot. WOTC controls the production of legitimate product and therefore is the only one that has the ability to influence and change this. If you or anyone thinks that any kind of moral argument against counterfeiting will prevent it from happening you are sorely mistaken. Such efforts should be spent on actual methods of managing supply of product to ensure that such an endgame doesn't occur.

Now you may continue your pointless argument.
