Why are you opposed to offbrand bricks? The way look at it the patents are expired and the purpose of patents is to enable a short term monopoly to create a profit motive for innovation. But after the patents expire then the invention belongs to everyone to build upon.

I dislike 1:1 copies of Lego sets. But copying the bricks is fine with me- and actually a good thing long term I think.
