It's about investing in high evaluated US clones such as StudiVZ, a Facebook clone (currently under investigation). I am not sure, but I assume it will be a self-promotion tour of their newly created fund. All tips and tricks how to avoid being "cloned" by copycats can be said in about 5 minutes.

People have been printing on clothing since time immemorial, and the idea that Cafepress has some sort of magical lock on the POD (print on demand) market is also nonsense. What Spreadshirt set out to do was make *quality* print on demand and by a very different printing method which uses fused plastic. It is night and day between Spreadshirt and Cafepress on everything from customer service to garment quality. One could as well have Google give a talk about cloning and the search market. They didn't do it first, but they did it far better and by a more innovative and useful method. At some point it's all splitting hairs.
