Counterfeiting Program on the BBC
Just wanted to give a quick follow up to a previous rant of mine on the state of fake's in the UK.
There doesn't seem to be any slow down in the trade, but as I've ranted before, educating and attaching a stigma to those that purchase fakes can only help to put counterfeiters out of business. The BBC are running a show tonight called Britain's Favourite Fakes on BBC 2 at 7pm (GMT), which may feature brands that are of interest to our visitors.
Hopefully it will be on the iPlayer so I can catch it later in the evening!
Also, don't forget that Be Unequaled has a real or fake forum to help you identify fakes. If ever in doubt, please feel free to post up links and photos and our members will try to help identify anything that is fake.
There are many real or fake guides for almost every brand, so do your research, and remember the old Billionaire-Boys-Club.co.uk motto; if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
Update: I made it home in time to catch the show. It wasn't the best piece of journalism, and the show was very much about who and how many people buy fakes.
It was nice to see New Era and Timberland make a contribution to the show, clearly indicating to anyone watching how much of their business and profits are affected by fakes. If you have access to the BBC iPlayer, you should be able to watch the show for the next 7 days.
