If it's cheap, and people want it, it'll be bought.
Look at all the bootleg movies/cds around. "I'm sorry officer, I thought the unsealed DVD with the synopsis to another movie was legit! I swear!"
But in the case of conflict diamonds, yes ignorance is also a factor. The average person will say "huh? What's that?" However, it may have a little more exposure due to Kanye West's "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" video.
