Did you know that a sophisticated piracy ring recently tried to steal the NEC Corporation right out from under the Japanese firm's own nose? The members of the piracy ring produced |
| goods under the NEC corporation name, opened up 'corporate' offices, had business cards printed with these addresses and phone numbers. They produced product lines the authentic corporation did not produce such as DVDs. When the authentic company began to receive complaints for products they did not even manufacture, the scheme was discovered. |
| There are markets in the large cities in China that are 'malls' in any other part of the world. These markets are wide open in their merchandising of unauthorized designer merchandise. In the image to the right, the Italian designer Georgio Armani is being openly copied. This picture is of the sign outside their stall in a market in Shanghai. |
