<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1924158, member: 4373&quot;]I have to politely disagree. While this seems to be a way of reducing counterfeits in the market, this alone is not good enough to exterminate such &quot;producers&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at history in particular adulteration, ilicit drugs etc - all of them share one common theme: it&#039;s the public waging a war against the counterfeiters, crooks, profiteers. What many fail to acknowledge is that these markets exist because part of the society demands it. </p><p><br /></p><p>You may want to start whinging about counterfeits coming out from China and how lax the government offcials are but death penalty do exist. The milk adulteration is a good example. With limited education, the public is led to believe that adding milk to infants&#039; diet will provide better nutrition. If you are a parent, I&#039;m certain you would think of the best for your child. Only problem in China is - milk in any form costs a fortune. The public demanded cheap form of milk. Needless to say, you can only guess what happened afterwards. </p><p><br /></p><p>There were capital punishment for those crooks that did such crimes but even with such penalty, why did they do this? It&#039;s purely greed and there was a market that demanded such product. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what is the best way to deal with such market? While the government should play a bigger role in stamping out counterfeits - I believe the onus comes back to us. It is not the government that provides funds to these rings but it&#039;s from the public. We need to proactively educate the public more about counterfeits as well as actively guide new collectors the right path. Lastly, stop funding these counterfeiter rings!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
