Week 6 EOC: Illicit? What do you think?

The movie Illicit really opened my eyes to this market. Before this movie, I would see fake accessories and think "Oh, if I do not know about it then its okay". However, after seeing this movie made me think twice about whats going on. All over the world people are contributing to this market, whether its purses, sunglasses, drugs, kidneys, etc. And it is affecting our economy and people all over the place. We copyright, trademark, and everything to protect our rights and our creation and people around the world are recreating it and taking it to earn dirty money. I see the fake accessories and I do not even think of the process of it. I was shocked about illegal drugs. People can send out Viagra out and no one would know about it. The dogs are not trained to sniff out Viagra; they are trained for more harder drugs. The things these people put in these drugs to make it look like its real, glue, wax, paint, lead, etc is so disgusting. The people that buy them are looking for a cheaper and easier way to buy their pills, and little do they know they are poisoning themselves! The laws are out ther for reason, not only to protect the authors, but also to protect the society. Next time you see a purse, think of that fake gucci as the tip of an iceberg of something more dangerous.
