Are You For or Against Knock Offs?

Luxury powerhouse LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton won another $32.4 million in damages against two Internet service providers that hosted websites selling bogus goods. A Californian District Court ruled they shared responsibility with the actual counterfeiters.

Last year a French court awarded LV a $63 million dollar judgment against eBay for its role in selling LV labelled counterfeit goods. Total damages are now close to $100 million dollars.

    I understand these judgements in principle but does it really curtail forgery and counterfeiting? IDK

    It is unacceptable to use someone else's name for your own product especially when it is a poorly made imitation of the other person's. Authenticity is important, not just in fashion, film and music but in everything.
