I honestly see no problem with counterfeit clothing if the user knows that its counterfeit, the people who can afford the luxury will buy the real thing, and the people who can’t afford the real product will but the fakes(Thus loosing no money as they weren’t potential customers in the first place).

Firstly I don’t drink Vodka.

But of licenced premisis that do sell fake vodka they get found out fairly quickly either because of the tax deficit or because people make a complaint.

Good fake vodka will probably be of the same quality as supermarket value vodka, the only difference is the inland revenue don’t get their cut (this is why the market exists for knock off vodka).

I wouldn’t touch fake Vodka and the sort of people who buy fake vodka know they are doing it. Do you not believe that people should be resposible when making purchases?

Also I (as the vast majority of peopler in the UK) do not buy drugs online as I have no need. We have pharmacies in the UK with affordable drugs on prescription.

Try fake vodka or fake drugs. Drink that or take that little blue pill you need and see how much you miss your eyesight and how much you enjoy the renal unit several times a week.
It’s not just about clothes.

Reminds me of my holiday to Turkey, I remember a market stall selling “Genuine Fake Watches”. Still makes me chuckle today.

“Potential Damage” from a pair of Ugg boots?

I know cold feet can be bad but you would just go and get another pair of boots and think “Well I won’t buy knock off boots again”.

They truly believe the general public are complete idiots.

“World Intellectual Property Day,”

A bloodlessly sterile, backhanded corporate holiday
if ever there was one.
