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).
