This comment is not directed specifically at Ansmann, just at the copying discussion in general. When a company produces their own parts that are just copies, it is far worse than using original parts from another manufacturer.
When original parts are used from another manufacturer, those parts have to be purchased. The original designer/manufacturer gets acknowledged, and they profit from that use.
I'm sure all the companies that use other manufacturers' parts (JConcepts, X-Factory, Atomic Carbon, etc.) would prefer to build entirely new cars from scratch, but it's just not feasible. So in that case, it's more sourcing than copying.
