The protection of genuine merchandise is a continuing problem on the world stage, according to the International Anticounterfeiting Coalition (IACC), and one that has grown over 10,000 percent in the past two decades. Counterfeit and infringed merchandise is not a “victimless crime” as many believe. Beyond the loss of 750,000 legitimate American jobs and $250 billion in business and tax revenue annually, most counterfeit operations are connected to larger, more complex criminal enterprises. We follow the trail from the point of sale, back through distribution and manufacturing, to operations frequently involving money laundering, narcotic trafficking, the sex trade and even terrorism.
