True, but we can stop the importation and distribution if they won't pay licensing. And we can have sanctions slapped on those "direct from Hong Kong" guys... But they all lie on their import forms anyway -- "Gift from Grandma, $10.00 value".


Mike can go after anyone who sells copies in the US -- And he should talk to Customs about sanctions.

It is quite difficult to stop anything coming in the mail, unfortunately. Short of opening all packages from the "offending party" (which of course won't happen), it is just too easy to lie on the forms as you mentioned. China and many/most countries do recognize trademarks(Slipperential is a trademark name) so I am chasing down the trademark angle right now while I try to figure out how to stop the importing.
I am curious about the "sanctions" comment, though - I would love nothing more than to put a beating on the offenders(financially, physically and/or otherwise any way possible).

Mike, send me an email -- I'm trying to get the distributors involved in this.
