TOP 10 MOST BOOTLEGGED ITEMS


Some of us don't want to admit it but we've all "broken" the law buying bootleg products( except for me). Pirated music/movies. fake Rolexes, fake designer purses, and fake cologne, are just a few of the products that make up the counterfeit market. One walk through China Town in NYC, and you can see its a booming trade but just how big? Counterfeit goods generate Billions of Dollars in sales each year, making up almost 7%of all global trade!

At US ports alone, counterfeit products seized in 2009 had an estimated street value of $260 Million. Nobody's sure just how many counterfeit enter the US each year but one thing is certain: Counterfeiting saps economies, puts lives in jeopardy, funds organized crime, and keeps us(except for me) looking fresh!
