Yeah, that's all true... and I know you're opeining a huge can of trade-worms if you outright ban them. But there really has to be a way to enforce copyright laws here, even if they can't be enforced over there. None of those vehicles pictured should be allowed in North America based solely on the fact that they're ripoffs.
