Any you know this how?  Be careful repeating what "everyone knows".  Those
two words are a red flag to be highly suspicious of the following statement.
It's also not a good idea to try to look smart by talking about things you
don't really know about.  Sooner or later someone's going to call you on it,
and then you look stupid.

Cloning and piracy certainly happen, but unless you're making a well
recognized high volume product, it's not going to get cloned because there
isn't sufficient market for a cheaper version.  Nobody is going pay
attention to a 15 piece order.  And then this mostly applies to full
products anyway.  Think about it.  Who's going to want the raw PC boards
even if they were free?  How will the cloner find the 16th customer that
didn't buy the real thing because it was a bit too expensive?
