More and more gang members have turned to selling counterfeit
trademarked merchandise. Intellectual property investigations have lead to the
arrest of some really bad people. Until the demand slows for counterfeit goods,
the gangsters will continue to engage in trademark counterfeiting and
piracy. People need to stop buying fakes
and that is the only way to combat counterfeiting.
It does not matter if it is counterfeit handbags, batteries, shoes,
shampoo or music CDs, if gangsters can make money selling them, they will do
it. The LAPD arrested another gangster selling fakes in the city of LA. The gangster
was from the Geer Gang and was already on probation for other crimes.
