July 2008 - An ebay trader was given a suspended prison sentence and a tagging order after admitting dealing in counterfeit sunglasses when he appeared before a court in England. The trader was sentenced to eight months imprisonment suspended for 12 months and was given a three-month curfew order requiring him to wear a tag and be at home between eight in the evening and six in the morning. He was also ordered not to use ebay for 12 months. Acting on a complaint received from the public, officers from Gloucestershire County Council Trading Standards Service in England seized 65 pairs of sunglasses bearing the brand names Oakley Sunglasses and Chanel Sunglasses from the now-convicted trader. These were all marked with registered trademarks and designed to fool the public that they were the genuine product. Bad boy.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie could have had France's child photography laws in mind when they chose that European country for the birth of their twins in July. French law is tough on paparazzi, especially when it comes to snapping photos of children. There's general agreement on the need to shield children from the media. To avoid lawsuits, magazines regularly blur out the faces of celebrities' children or simply pull the photos. If Brad and Angelina want to take their family out for a stroll in a French park, all wearing sunglasses, minding their own business, a photographer can be sued in France for destroying their privacy. Even if they are French sunglasses, like Chanel Sunglasses.
