Monday, September 18 IP Dragon posted in June Debunking the Chinese Tourist in Europe Story. But now Susan Scafidi of Counterfeit Chic posted a Flickr picture in her Knockoff News 32 that seems to at least partly debunk the debunking story. On the picture one can read: “In France, buying or carrying a counterfeit product is a criminal offence punishable by up to 3 years imprisonment and a 300,000 euro fine.” Of course it is unlikely that a Chinese tourist dressed in counterfeit clothing receives such a sanction, most probably certain thresholds need to be passed.
