The automobile industry supplanted the horse/buggy combo (except in Amish country, I guess) because it introduced a product with greater utility, mass reproducibility, economy of scale, and value than the average horse. On the other hand, a counterfeiter introduces a "product" which has no purpose but a one-way transfer of value to the counterfeiter through the reduction of value of legitimate goods.
How is that not theft? You've been asked that question by three different people and have yet to provide any other answer than a very wordy "because I said so." Come up with a real answer, or quit trolling.
