Being a country that has only recently escaped third-world status and with recent copyright law enforced, The Maldivian markets are flooded by a variety of pirated, cloned and inferior products that barely live up to the expectations promised by the originals. Many controversial yet unsuccessful attempts have been undertaken in the Maldives to combat this problem. However, we believe that the only way to achieve the success of this aim is to practically and effectively demonstrate the shortcomings of the inferior clones in order to establish a solid demand for originals, regardless of higher price.
