No one's trying to pick a fight, and I find the ethics discussion interesting. I'm not a patent attorney, but I don't think patent or coyright law prevents copying for personal use, implying society's protection of intellectual property is only against commercial exploitation. Is it immoral for one to copy it when the manufacturer makes a business decision not to file to protect its IP, or where the design or use is such that it is not protected under the law?I guess they haven't registered at the search engines yet. They do not give any information about any of their designs, other than to say all the cables as wells as the pig tails are surrounded with a fluid to filter EMI/RFI. I noticed that MD's cometitor sells them under the name Cable Rectifiers. Whether that hints at what's inside, who knows?
