JAIL TIME if found in possession of counterfeit designer product

 Before you carry that counterfeit designer bag or wear that fake designer shoes...........................wait read and this.

A friend of mine  post some things on her blog a while ago and didn't take it so serious until I stumble on a similar post on the internet and I think its a serious matter.

 

For all you fashion lovers and especially those who love to wear designer brands, BE VERY CAREFUL!!! With people trying to get rich quick, more and more fake designer goods are entering the market and its getting harder to tell the difference between an authentic product and a cheap knock-off. In New York City, it may soon be a law that anyone found in possession of a counterfeit designer product is liable to jail time...you heard me right, J-A-I-L T-I-M-E! 

 

New York Council member, Magaret Chin, supported by Rivera, Fidler, Mendez, Comrie, Brewer and Koslowitz proposed the legislation that the purchase of any counterfeit good be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $1,000 or not more than a year imprisonment.

As a young designer, I understand the need to protect the industry from the profusion of fake products which make it difficult for designers to enjoy the rewards of their hard work...

But wait a minute....why should you, the buyer, serve time instead of the seller???

All I can say is, dot your I's and cross your T's before you buy any designer product and be careful of where thy legs take you because as we would say in Nigeria, "tomorrow, it fit be you."

The Legislation...

A word they say is enough for the wise.

yeah you are welcome.
