Why the frak would people copy the press and be so boneheaded as to actually CALL it the Bonny Doon!?. Really, if you're going to make a similar press, sure, borrow sound aspects of the design(old and/or new) because there's no law against that, but don't copy it exactly and don't call it something it isn't! (because there ARE laws against that). I'm, far from the only person who thinks there should be press options but copying and misrepresenting are not among them,in my occasionally humble opinion.
