内容説明

Counterfeiting is an industry growing faster than almost any other in the world. It's a global business with its own manufacturing, distribution and retail networks and represents a market worth $350 billion every year. Knockoff exposes the shocking truth that counterfeiting isn't harmless - it's far from it. Tim Phillips travelled to America, China, France and Russia amongst other countries to research this book with the support of several bodies including the New York Police, the Business Software Alliance and the International Chambers of Commerce. As well as speaking to those affected by the crime, he met people convicted of it and questioned solicitors who defended them. Knockoff takes an unbiased stance and asks uncomfortable questions that are relatively ignored, such as: If drugs to treat Aids are too expensive in the third world, is it not suprising that there is a market for low-quality fakes? When the average piece of software in Russia costs a month's wages, is counterfeiting not inevitable? If enforcement is failing, should industry concentrate on incentives and education instead? Knockoff thoroughly examines all susceptible industries incuding: Entertainment; Drugs; Software; Luxury Goods; Car and Aero Parts and Consumer Goods.
