outsourcing usually saves money (or reduces loss) plus you no longer
have to worry about employee rights. you bet they make a profit.

Well, to the extent that they reduce a business cost, but what I mean is
Pentax doesn't make X number of Dollars, Euro, Yen ... profit off of
each repair as was implied.
It's just a bad business practice to manufacture shoddy goods, and then
expect to make money off of repairing defects, especially if you don't
actually repair the defects meaning the item has to be repaired again
and again.
If Pentax does that, they won't be in business long. They've got their
faults as a company, but I just don't think they're that stupid.
