LoveTheFakes Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The bottom line is people will continue to buy from China, and nothing will happen to us. We will not be banned from stadiums/arenas, the feds aren't going to kick my door down. The only people that care are you idiots, and none of you will do anything but whine on these boards. I don't condone people in the states ordering these and making money off the sales. I buy for my friends but do not charge anything over what I pay.

LoveTheFakes Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Wow someone is extremely unethical and without a moral compass. How do you feel about those counterfeit shops being more likely to use child slave labor? Don't give me that Nike, Reebok and whatnot do, because they don't use child labor (although the pay is still crappy, but is getting better and almost to the point that it is possible to support a family on in those countries).Do you think that the counterfeiters that you are paying $30 per jersey for are paying a livable wage to their workers? That they aren't using child labor or essentially forcing their workers into a slavery condition? You represent what is wrong with the American public. You want what you want, and don't give a who you hurt to get it. People like that need to see what its like to be on the other side.And by saying you don't care it is counterfeit, you are admitting that you knowingly buy counterfeit goods, which is illegal in the states. Don't think a prosecutor wouldn't pay someone to look through your computer and find the posts on here. They would, and then would stick you with the costs. You need to focus on the moral and ethical reasons why what you are doing is wrong however, and have compassion for the people you are stepping on just so you can have your jersey for a few dollars less.Why do you think we exported our factories overseas? It is cheaper to produce items in other countries because they do not pay their workers fair wages. I feel no shame in buying a jersey for $30. If the NFL was smart they would charge within reason and then I would stop but for now I am not.I doubt the feds are going to go after someone who buys 50 jerseys a year. If they do then god bless them on their crusade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do then god bless them on their crusade.I love how you completely overlook the fact that most big corporations that moved factories overseas are in fact paying workers a fair wage compared to the cost of living in each respective country, and how some counterfeiting operations would not only not pay a fair wage, but most likely break every labor law in the book as well, treating their workers like slaves. By supporting counterfeiters you support human slavery and oppression, child labor, and trample on the rights of your fellow man.All for saving money on a jersey.

Furthermore, this thread isn't entitled "Thinking about doing anything wrong ever?" so the whole "I bet you've never done anything wrong" defense falls flat.

I don't see the allure of buying a vastly inferior product just to save a few bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Really? There's no shame in laughing at an ugly, tawdry counterfeit jersey. There's plenty of shame in putting your money towards sweatshops. Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 There's a gigantic difference between going 1mph over the speed limit and directly funding child labor and other human rights abuses.The point is that they are both illegal. We are all lawbreakers to some degree.Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that driving 1 mph over the speed limit isn't the worst crime you've committed. There's no way you or I can prove or disprove that here. But I don't believe it. Quote WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I am helping those poor factory kids get some money, if we all stopped buying where would they work? It seems like you are looking down upon these unfortunate souls.

But of course as long as the child that can't get an education due to being forced to work in a sweatshop 16 hours a day for little to no money gets a little bit, everything is right with the world.You are a disgrace.
