A lot of hackers won't develop a product unless it is a brand new concept that has never been marketed before. These guys actually do their research and compete with companies that are trying to do a land grab. I can see the draw of innovating and creating something new but I can also see the draw of finding a business model and making money. It's not wrong in the least.


Except they're clearly trying to profit off of customer confusion. It's one thing to copy a business model, it's another thing to copy a company.


but didn't the article say that the brothers launched in markets that the original had yet to enter?
