Sometimes imitation sells better than innovation, or at least that seems to be the path many online retailers are following. With the internet\u2019s help, it is becoming more common for big companies to steal their ideas from others in the hopes of making some extra profit. Darren Jason Watkins Jr., aka IShowSpeed, found this out himself while streaming on YouTube and browsing Ali Express \u2014 only to discover the site sold plenty of knockoff merchandise featuring his face. IShowSpeed was looking to buy \u201ccheap sh**\u201d for under $100 on the site, letting his viewers choose what products to search for when someone suggested his own name. \u201cThere\u2019s no way I\u2019m on this,\u201d the YouTuber said but was shocked to see a page pop up full of knockoff merchandise. From socks to pillows to phone cases \u2014 everything could be bought with IShowSpeed\u2019s face plastered on the top. \u201cWhat the f***?\u201d IShowSpeed exclaimed, not hesitating to get his \u201clawyer\u201d on the phone in order to \u201csue these people from China.\u201d It\u2019s clear this is just a friend of Speed\u2019s pretending to be a lawyer, but he made sure to get his point across. IShowSpeed\u2019s friend wasn\u2019t phased by the request, joking that they\u2019d get them fined in no time.
