Knockoff electronics

The headphones on my iPod stopped working a couple of days ago, so I
went searching for a new pair this afternoon. It took me about an hour
to find a genuine (I think--at least the packaging is pretty convincing
and the sound's pretty good) pair of Philips headphones, but along the
way I spotted the following "brands":

Aima
Somy
Suomi (this would presumably be a Finnish national brand)
Sonia
Sowi
Sonty
Suny

I wish I had the guts to take pictues. The "Sonia"'s were the best.
The packaging even has reasonably good copies of the Sony trademark
lettering.
