You'd have to see how law in China works. If team gateway paid the judge in Shenzhen (or Guangzhou), they could bribe him enough to fine the other party. That is pretty much how it works there with counterfeit goods.
Likewise if you run your own Rolex factory and then the swiss roll in with lawyers (they do this sometimes, actually Cartier set up an office and had 2 lawyers working in it in Shenzhen at one point and yes I know Cartier is not affiliated to Rolex but I'm talking about watches here ok) and they quelled cartier stuff. Once they were gone, guess what happens. Ramp up production of Cartier again and sell it somewhere else. However with respect to the law (I know this paragraph is getting jumbled here now but I'm not writing an English report), if you make Rolex watches and someone comes in there and presents a case to the judge, all the Rolex counterfeiter dude (the guy with the big solid cherrywood desk and fish tank and sexy Chinese secretaries that heads the watch factory) has to do is bribe the judge with a whole bunch of ca$h and then the judge will dismiss the case and the guys from Rolex eventually leave. The judge may even look like Rolex won just to get them the fuck out of there and then the dude who makes the watches just goes back to his desk and makes more money. That is how they ROLL THERE so you can't really fuck with anyone if they have money and believe me Gateway team has FAR more money than Joe Schmo (Ching Chow) that sells fake Gateway products. Mark my words on that. If Gateway gets sued by another counterfeiter in China, the other guy will lose plain and simple. It's not gonna happen.
And plus to this effect, those whom believe that the Chinese Maphia, the Triads, the Tongs, the Dragons, etc there's a big ass list of them, are involved in producing counterfeit cards. That isn't true. Chinese gangsters are into gambling and prostitution. They could give a shit less about counterfeit flash carts because there's more effort involved and they would rather grab a lot of loot from gambling which is immensely more profitable. Plus if a woman over there gets in debt at gambling, the mobs basically prostitute the women overseas.
I bring this up because sometimes I see this come up, if people buy fake Nintendo cards they aren't supporting gangs. They're just supporting some electronics engineer that probably is a Chinese citizen and graduated from UC Berkeley California or something. Things like this do happen. The guy making the Gateway supposedly is from France though (no he isn't Costello, costello doesn't do any handhelds stuff whatsoever he just runs a web page).
