<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 1096868, member: 19532&quot;]Mike, </p><p>I enjoyed reading Counterfeiting and the Tragedy of the Commons.&nbsp; I think that the main reason the Feds don&#039;t pursue the Chinese counterfeiters and any conspirators on our side of the ocean is simply limited resources.&nbsp; We are ultimately viewed as hobbyists and threats to our hobby simply aren&#039;t perceived as threatening commerce in general.&nbsp; Without starting a political discussion, most of us would like to see government spending reduced, but here is one place where I would like to see additional government resources -- a serious effort to pursue and convict counterfeiters of rare coins and any conspirators who profit from it.</p><p>That&#039;s not going to happen and we are left with organizations like ANA and PNG, who either don&#039;t have the resources or the resolve to do much about counterfeits.&nbsp; In any event, I enjoyed the article.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
