I have a car analogy:
Let's say the rubber diaphragm in the carburetor of my car failed, so I went and bought a new one, replaced the failed one and my car works again. Unknown to me, the new diaphragm is a counterfeit, made from cheaper materials and won't last as long, but should still last a while. However, while I was at a gas station one day, a man came by, opened he hood of my car, found out that the diaphragm is not genuine and cut it up making my car inoperable (FTDIgate 1) or fixed the throttle valve to full open (FTDIgate 2). I do not think I would be OK with that and my anger would be with the man who disabled my car. If and when the fake part failed prematurely by itself, only then my anger would be with the counterfeiter.
But then again, I can buy car parts made by whoever wants to, as long as they fit and work OK...
