Abstract

For a growing number of consumers, purchasing ‘fake’ or counterfeit products is part of their everyday lives, with 25% of consumers readily admitting that they buy counterfeit products. (Hardy 2010). The easy availability of such products both through various retail environments and particularly the Internet encourages this buying behaviour. Bosworth (2006, p2) highlights this issue by maintaining that “while branded firms complain bitterly about the scale and impact of counterfeiting and piracy, the feeling invoked amongst individuals and even governments tends to be more ambiguous, at least for certain types of goods.”
