Although I do not think the internet policing job is an easy one, it does always feel like we are being offered lip service. As you may know, if you send in a broken remote, you can get a new one back at a "repair rate", which is somewhat less than the normal dealer cost. I recently saw the Amazon price LESS than the repair rate on a certain remote that I was swapping out. Even with serial numbers, I don't suppose they provide as much diligence in hunting down transshipping dealers and distributors as we would like.

Internet policing is very easy. It requires URC to track serial numbers. They keep a record of what distributor or dealer each serial number goes to, then they require distributors to do the same. See someone selling online, buy a unit and get the serial number, then fire the dealer it was shipped to. If a distributor has an on going problem with dealers selling online, Fire the distributor.
