Whats The Problem With Counterfeit?

I have been working on the topic of anti-counterfeiting for a number of years and find myself increasingly engrossed and thoroughly surprised as my understanding of this topic grows. The imagination and the brutality with which the criminal industry produces, distributes and sells imitation goods is unmatched. The consequences of such dire acts are not only killing children but also affecting the lives of many and fighting such forgery has become a personal battle for me.
