Immigration and Customs Enforcement sting nets millions in counterfeit NFL gear
 

"Counterfeiting is a modern-day crime of global proportions, and selling counterfeit football jerseys is just the tip of the iceberg of intellectual property rights crime. Nearly any item that will turn a profit is subject to being counterfeited. Counterfeiters are pervasive, increasingly sophisticated, and a real threat to the U.S. economy,"

seems like they are cracking down a lot lately:thumbsup

good to see :)

"a real threat to the U.S. economy," ..... And for this reason we will see stepped up efforts in a lot of areas.

Just go south of the border and they can find even more.

well, you sure it's not about the counterfieters trying to cash in on the upcoming game ? The timing seems rather convenient, with the shutting down of the streaming sites as well:winkwink:

Amazing the lobbying power of the NFL isn't it?

indeed it is, BIG Bucks:winkwink:

They were just timeshifting some jerseys...

My wife needed a Giants or Patriots jersey for team pride day at her school (she's a 1st grade teacher). I went into Modell's and saw the price on a jersey, and said "fuck that!" She's getting a tshirt".
