Everyone definately has to keep its profit, thats business after all.
But what I want to say is. Say there is a product worth 5$(C.P.), if its bought(S.P.) at 10$ it's ok....[fair play for both the seller and buyer] but in mlm its bought at 50$ (because after the product makers 5$ profit, the rest 40$ go as commisions to the upline)
The 'value' of the product is relative to its price. A product well worth the price at 5$, is not worth the price at 50$.
Hence even if there is a quality product, its never worth the price tag on it, in mlm.
For a lot of products there is a high fixed cost to develop the product and a low cost to dublicate it.

It isn't.
A product has a different value to different people. A copy of photoshop CS3 has a different value to me (a student) than to a grafic designer who uses photoshop 8hrs/day to earn his living.

Selling a product through the "traditional" way requires huge set up cost in marketing. You have to tell everyone about the product.
Doing MLM instead requires much less setup cost for the business.

A "fake" rolex can have a tenth of the price of a "real" one and provide the same value to most people.
Why? The customer pays for the brand(with is build through marketing), when he buy's the real one.

There is AIDS medication that has costed twenty years ago over 100 times what it costs now.
Do you thing the people who brought it twenty years ago made a bad deal because the payed so much money for the medication?
After all AIDS medication seems to be a good deal for the price people who have AIDS pay at the moment for the product.

I don't feel the need for you to agree with me, but I have seen people selling their trust, and I feel almost obliged to let people know my experience and information about mlm.
There are unethical people who work in MLM and ethical ones.
