Yup. This reminds me of when Microsoft decided to copy Apple's "Designed by Apple in California" packaging label with an uglier kitschy copy: "Hello from Seattle". http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/10/05.html This unknown name broadcasting is the equivalent of having to wear off-brand clothing labels. When I was a kid and wanted Nike stuff but my parents could only afford some store brand, I'd rather not have had the label than the dumb Nike-wannabe logo that was on the shirt. Putting the off-brand label just made everything cheesy even if the shirt itself was of similar quality to the real deal.
