Well, I know that. In fact in my post I was talking of fashion, and not clothing. PS Re: drugs in my country, while in the past years the governments have educated people about the existence of "generic drugs" (I don't know whether "generic" is the correct term, I mean those drugs made by third parties after their patent is expired, thus equivalent to the original, but cheaper), a recent poll showed that most people don't buy them, either because they don't know or don't trust them. No marketing (*), no sales. Not to go off topic, but this serves as an example to indicate that everything must be considered on the whole: the market, business, patents, copyrights, marketing, etc... (*) There is at least one third party making a generic drug against headache that recently ran some ads in TV. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
