Joe.
Some of us have other things to do, so opinions may take time. :-)
Prolific are just a pain, but understandable that they would retaliate and
disable their driver.
FTDI on the other hand should be severely slapped. To use your government
analogy, if someone is known to be handling stolen money, you don't just
steal it back, that is illegal. You confiscate the goods and you take the
case through the courts, keeping the 'suspect' informed at all times. In the
case of counterfeit money, you don't just destroy the currency and say
nothing.
If FTDI can't afford their own "police force" they do have the option to
approach various governments and trade bodies to get the counterfeiting
stopped, although they may be into a hiding for nothing by trying to stop
the cheap Chinese copies. Nobody wants to upset the Chinese because there's
too much money involved in other trade with them. Greed and money before
principles! :-(

Does your government allow you to use counterfeit currency if you
received it from someone else? ... or should you be allowed to
keep a stolen K-line if you purchased it from the person who stole
it?
