You are confusing who is the party that is injured--as many in this thread are. We are not talking about the consumer who buys a non-fairtrade t-shirt, when he would rather had a fairtrade one.

What I also like is that if you find errata, you have a place to send them, with a reasonable expectation that they will be picked up in a new version.
