Fake Brand Name Products on Sale
from the oh-really? dept
I just wanted to post this story to get the quote: "When some guy in a van is hanging out on a corner it's obvious to people he's selling fakes, but the Net has become the New York City street corner of the new millennium." The article is actually about a study showing that some sites selling name brand goods are actually selling fakes. Not a huge surprise, really.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
