Because a law was broken by the sale of patent-infringing merchandise that's basically tantamount to straight-forward theft?
Your response is no less comical than someone saying "a guy at work wants to buy a stolen car, why shouldn't he be able to?" Gosh, I don't know, maybe because a law was broken?
Oh please... why is the tablet for sale in the US then? :rolleyes:
