I am linking to a thread that was started on ChipTalk.net.

http://www.chiptalk.net/forum/custom-chip-gallery/17073-new-ceramic-chips-china-read-about-controversy-here.html

When you get there, each post appears sequentially and about 10 -15 posts appear on a page. After the last post you will need to go to the next page to see more posts. When I linked this there were about 6 pages. I suspect that there are more by now.

There are several issues at hand in that thread, and aside from the concern about copyright infringement and beating up on people, I am linking to the thread because it appears to have come to pass that it is cheaply and easily to "knock-off" existing home game poker sets, in hughe quantities.

The next step of course is the complete copying of existing, live-action casino chips!
