week 6 ; illicit trade

The trade on illicit goods has sky rocketed to a whole time high and to the discontent of many it is still rising. And the deal is not only on drugs but on things that can seem like harmless little trinkets. The most known and distributed is of course knock offs.  Purses, watches, cars, body parts and counter drugs are all falling into play when making fakes. In obviously the most disturbing of the areas of concern is the legalities. There are the terms under which people are failing to uphold the full value of whole priced items. Buying knock offs like DVD’s and bags and stuff of the same nature is causing not only legal beak of trademark copyrights but it diminishes the products value on each purchase.  You’re looking at years in jail just for knowing that the bag you just sold illegally could have come from a strange Chinese factory manned by children. And that’s not the worst part. We move on to the moral and ethical issues. You know or in this case the buyer is doing wrong. They willingly are as the movie said barely touching the tip of what is the whole of illicit trade.  They get taken on this round about search of a ware house someplace in the city and that whole way there the buyer has adrenalin rushing through their system felling the most bad ass criminal for smuggling a Rolex watch witch in some cases too, more trouble to acquire than just going into the dam shop and getting it. And besides just going through the motion of buying or selling is the little rush that goes through the body that they are doing something that in the long run going to cause a major upscale revolution. Still it’s bringing in more revenue than any original Louis Viton store can bring in in a year. So there you see the trafficking of “dirty money”. This is getting more revenue under the table that is completely un-taxable. I swear porn is getting more competition from face Gucci than from famous prostitutes. So you see it’s a serious issue and even as you read this around you the most common day people have the small “harmless” trinkets. And even now, to the discontent of many, illicit trade keeps sky rocketing to a new time high and still going.
