Pirates Go Legit

In Vietnam a year or so ago I saw shops specializing in fixing old cameras, really old, like 1920s.  Repairing luxury brand goods is a booming business in Shanghai and Beijing.  Someone is building an empire doing the same in SEAsia.

Sounds like a depression era business, being an agent fedexing rich peoples luxury goods to be repaired  overseas.

And who, or course, would be the experts doing this?  People who are expert at copying.  There is not enough money in piracy, but a lot in legitimate repair.  Let the free markets rule.
