Genius Knock-Offs

In an age where young computer geniuses are lauded for their ability to do amazing things we have also created a line of cheap imitators. People who are neither brilliant, nor amazing. They are simply thieves.

They pay to get into a site on the internet and then download all the member perks and give them away on sites dedicated to this sort of thing. Then they sit back and gloat because they have tricked the system.

What system? Fair trade? Small businesses trying to offer a quality product at a fair price? How smart do you have to be to spend your own money on something and then give it away so you force the small business man out of business? Some even go so far as to say they stole the best from the best. Do they care that now, thanks to them, the best no longer exists?

Big corporations have been doing this for years. Only they turn it into more money for themselves, they certainly do not give it away.

The line forms to the rear, knock-offs of all sorts step up. Join the sleazy snake oil salesmen who are your predecessors. Fortunately for their families most of them are nameless, but you! You have the distinction of having your name out there on the internet for generations to come!
