It is ok to copy Pass Labs for DIY home amusement. Mr. Pass welcomes people build their own copy using their own brain. It is not ok for a commercial enterprise to copy Pass Labs and sell it as a commercial product.

In the USA, theft of intellectual property can be prosecuted to stop the theft. Since this theft in Thailand cannot be prosecuted by a USA company, the only thing to do is to make a joke and laugh at it.

Making fun of theft is not an attack.

Wow! Allready added to my allready well stocked Viking vocabulary :rofl:

the only thing missing is adjectives pertaining to Class A/B and BJT’s (except those made by Papa et al of course), and MZM and the likes.

Example: Jeeez, that’s a pretty class A/B thing to say man. Reply: Yea, I agree, like a poorly constructed 9 gain stage BJT IMD-packed preamp, dude :rofl:
