The Rane logo falls victim to China’s copyright problem

[yizzle]

Perusing my social media channels, I came across something that (to use the modern interwebs vernacular) made me facepalm and LOL at the same time. We’re all aware of China’s loose grip on copyright laws, and when I say loose grip, I probably mean complete disregard. Not everyone does it you understand, but for some, making and selling pure counterfeit goods is big business — just ask Beats, Pioneer and Shure. But it’s when they do an amusing (to us but certainly not the manufacturer) take on a brand name that my attention is grabbed.

This particular example comes from the Guanghzu Prolight and Sound exhibition, which is essentially Musikmesse China. Apparently, “Pane” sell PA speakers, and must simply be tapping into the prestige of the original Rane brand. I seriously doubt that you’ll ever see Pane PAs outside of China though.
