Similarly -- I bought some Ball canning jars from Amazon. The jars that I received were counterfeit, with poor quality casting of the pattern, and standard lids didn't fit. I contacted Amazon and they refunded my money (I didn't ask for a refund because I no longer had the packaging, I asked them to remove the listing), but didn't ask me to send them back. While I didn't feel safe using them for canning, I went ahead and put them in the garage for non-edible usage. Does that make me a thief by the definitions above? Better than tossing them in the recycle bin, IMO.

EDIT: BTW, Amazon never removed the listing even though there are multiple 1 star reviews saying that they're fake. I tried contacting the real company directly, but they required too much info on their web form, so I opted out of warning them.
