It just a surprise that while the law is catching up with some counterfeiters ,alot are still rushing in to making counterfeit goods.There might be need for the government to examine why its such an attractive aspect of our society.
@Kunmi, I support your idea on that, the other side of the task is with the consumers, theyn have to learn to say NO to counterfeits, It just that sometimes consumers don,t have a choice or sometimes will have to make a choice for the counterfeits due to one constrain or the other.
@Anne, I agree with you on that. Sometimes also, Consumers are even ignorrant of what the original name or brand looks like, so they are easily deceived.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee.
