I don't understand people who think that $30+sticker is not enough compensation?! Why?
Personally, I would just smile and find it interesting. Not only would I have no complaints, I wouldn't even demand compensation. Personally, I think that's cooler than a factory inscription. It looks nice, sounds interesting. The original inscription has no "brand" value, it's like a set of letters that don't make sense.
Personally, I (looking from the outside) consider the situation more like "consumer terrorism". I notice that in some countries people are so used to consumption and "earning money from protection" that it looks terrible from the outside.
You buy a frame for 10-20% of the brand price, but want to ask for compensation for the emptiness as from the brand!?
It's very funny to read how some people don't accept the fact that people can drive copies, can use stickers and brand inscriptions....
Where does this fetish come from?
There is no competition or loss of profit for the brand, because people are not faced with the choice of a brand or a fake and no one has sold them a fake at the price of the brand.
I have the right to use any symbols and words, colors, shapes and materials that I like.
