| Tourists Who Buy Fake Designer Goods, Should Now Face Heavy Fines Or Imprisonment Around The World. |
| There should now be a universal fine of $5,000,000.00, (world-wide equivalent), or three years imprisonment for anyone found with fake designer goods; (clothes, sunglasses, sports gear, handbags, watches, even cigarettes), in their possession at airports or docks. Everyone, leaving or entering a country should be made aware of these fines, so that there is no excuse when people return with fake goods. |

Apart from funding terrorist organisations, these black market goods are having a detrimental effect
on the world economy. No taxes are being paid on these goods, which are often extremely substandard
to the equivalent kosher items. Therefore, no funds get pumped back into the infra-structure of the
country where they were sold. By implementing fines of this nature, the consumer lifeline of these
goods will be severely cut, and inturn huge sweat shops will be closed down, and a better standard
of living will inevitably be constructed for all. |

It makes absolutely no sense from an economical standpoint to pay up the nose for overpriced name
brands when there is a genaric counterpart that is just as good. |

It's only worth buying if it looks like the original product or is better. Normally they aren't. So
why buy them anyway? That I cannot figure out. Someone enlighten me? |

That's utterly ridiculous. First off, who is to say that people know they are buying fake goods?
Secondly, who is to say that they don't prefer the so-called fakes to the originals? There's
nothing whatsoever illegal about buying a fake, as a fake. Lots of people have fake Mona Lisas
hanging on their walls, so what? |

Some fake goods, especially perfumes, are worlds better than the originals. Fake Brighton is of
much better quality than the flimsy originals. Designer goods have a well-known reputation for being
very poorly made. I had an authentic designer purse that disintegrated within two months of
purchase. I have had my knock-off edition of that same purse two years and it is going strong. |

You would have to have some way of proving that there was knowledge that the goods were fake,
otherwise due process becomes quite undue. Something that I imagine would be quite difficult to
establish. Your only effective legal recourse is to seize these goods and shut down the sales
operations. |

I disagree with the punishment you propose, it is ridiculous to propose those kind of punishments.
I'm sure you're joking. Of course fake goods can be dangerous, such a gameboy charger that killed a
young boy. Or fake saftey gear. When there is danger involved obviously something should be done but
I feel that a crackdown on the illegal traders would be more effective and legislation that makes it
more difficult to deal in fake goods. |

Sorry but the punishment is greatly disproportionate to the crime. It's like saying someone who
buys junk food instead of local whole foods produce should be severely fined and imprisoned. And
before you say the designer/imposter goods problem is bigger - you're wrong - because the food
industry is massive, global, and every living person participates - unlike with blue jeans or
handbags. |
