Imitating Property is Theft

A counterfeit is something that is forged, copied with the purpose of defrauding or

deceiving. To most people, counterfeiting is only related to money. Yet, we can find
imitations in medicines, mobile phones, food and drink. These products are imitated to
such perfection that it is difficult to make a difference between genuine and fake ones.

Counterfeiting has many consequences. A study conducted in 2000 by the Centre for
Economics and Business research indicated that EU lost a lot of jobs as a result of the
counterfeiting of clothing, cosmetics, toys, sports equipment and medicines. Since
counterfeiters don’t pay taxes, EU government lost lot of revenues. The loss in profitability
is so big that many companies launch advertisement campaigns against counterfeiting to
save their future.

Since brands are too expensive, consumers are obliged to buy counterfeits to satisfy
their needs. These consumers know well that they must not buy imitated products since
they are characterized by their lower quality and lack of safety standards. And yet
consumers, especially those with low incomes, feel that they have to purchase them, for, as
the old proverb indicates “necessity knows no law”. Thus, companies had better reduce the
prices of their brands to solve the problem of counterfeiting.
