I don't think anyone will argue against the point that the genuine article cost more in some (or large) part because of the name, however, no one is ripped off.
To purchase that brand name is a choice .... there are plenty of other options.
These companies have invested in their brand equity and to copy that is theft.
To seek out to purchase counterfeit items with any of those brand names is hypocritical.
