i've lost interest in this thread now that it's degenerated into reasoned and civilised argument.
Working in Sweatshops is sound.

Just buy all your clothes in charity shops Sarah, that way you can't go wrong and can buy whatever you want, plus it's cheap.

A thing is not good by being marginally better than the alternative.
Having said that, I know a lot of people who won't wear Nike or
shop in Pennys but haven't thrown out their iPod or their laptop.
but most electronics, high-end stuff anyway, is produced under acceptable working conditions. Ergo, no need for fairtrade ipods.
This isn't really true. The full life cycle impacts (social and environmental) of the production of electronic products is far from acceptable.
Laptops
and desktop computers have many, many components sourced from
many different places for as cheaply as possible.
here is a fairly simple product - an electronic toothbrush.
38 components produced and sourced from 11 different countries and 5 different time zones. When the components have been all brought to the final assembly point for manufacture and distribution the components have traveled a full 27,880 kilometers, two thirds of the Earth's circumference.
that's before it even hits the shops and people fret about whether to put it into a plastic bag or not.....
