How legit are counterfeits?

Just this morning I found this website:
http://www.rareelectricguitars.com/
I'm about five minutes away from requesting a price or two. Yes, I realize this isn't the real thing. Yes, I realize they skimp on pickup quality. How can they use copywritten/trademarked logos? How haven't the big guys shut down a place like this?
For $300 to $600 I could have-
The J. Yuenger Iceman?
The Buck Owens Tele?
The Artist formerly known as Prince's whatever?
Just to have it on my wall is worth $300-600. Spend a few more dollars on some EMGs or Schaller tuners, et. al. Boom! Teenage Fantasy Realized!
I know you purists would scoff, but, boy, I'm interested. What say you?
