Some people argue that counterfeiting benefits consumers by giving them
access to lower-price goods. This is a totally mistaken claim. First, imitated
goods are poor quality and do not last long. There is then no guarantee of value
for money and more importantly, that fake goods are safe. Imagine how much
damage low quality parts fitted in a car can do to the driver and passengers T- SS
when they fail! SS- SS
Secondly, if we think of fake foods or medicines, and the criminal Class
procedures used by the people who make them, we can only remain firm on discussion
buying genuine products. There are several cases of substitute edibles which
have caused dangerous diseases to people and which have resulted in long-
lasting law suits. The outcomes could only be compensations paid for
irreparable damage but the moral damage caused to the victims can never be
repaired! Recent figures released by the European Union show that the customs
are confiscating 100 million fake items every year.
Thirdly, it is highly immoral to reap where other people have sown.
Pirating products is indeed imitating other people’s property, and refusing to
engage in a creative act. It is much more rewarding to turn one’s abilities to
creating new objects of value that could serve the community, or improve the
performance of existing ones.
Fourthly, pirating objects is by essence theft, especially when the producer
of a fake item affixes the label of a well-known trade mark on it. Some
countries are notorious for their practice of counterfeit objects. One wouldn’t
like Algerians to be known for practising this dubious trade, as much as one
wouldn’t like to see them buy cheap, fake products and head into unsuspected
troubles.
