A follow-up to that fake Harry Potter books topic, if you like. I randomly stumbled on this from BBC News, and just when you thought that pirating games, DVDs and books wasn't enough, they manage to do something far more ridiculous.

Apparently, there's three fake Apple stores in Kunming (never heard of it, I'm not very good with Chinese geography) which presumably sell proper iPods, iPhones and various other things. According to the blogger I linked to, the store has poorly-constructed stairs, improperly painted walls and an incorrect logo so I'd say it's essentially the store equivalent of a pirated game. /:)

I've heard of fake Apple stores that sell Android phones and tablets too.. like a store version of Somari or something.

Dunno, I'd say it's more like a multicart than Somari in that sense.

Sorry if this is an old thread and I bumped it.
This is just so crazy. what's next? A fake Gamestop store that sells NES games?

I guess Steve Jobs will be rolling in his grave. If he was around and saw this, I'm sure he'd be pissed.
