Now THAT... is an interesting question. I go to the Philippines fairly frequently (I married a beautiful filipina girl) and it never ceases to amaze me how pirated music, DVDs, and lots of other stuff are openly on sale... in shopping malls, of all places !!! I saw Rolex watches and because of their ridiculously low prices, I ask the saleswoman "THEY ARE FAKE, AREN'T THEY ?" -- to which she calmly answered me "SIR, THESE ARE CLASS 'A' COPIES" and as I am an attorney I left with this interesting question "WAS THAT WOMAN BREAKING THE LAW.????.. She clearly declared the watched to be 'copies' not original so she was not passing them for the real thing... so was she breaking the law ? She was asking $60 per watch... and that itself ishows the watches aren't real Rolexes . That is the Far East Asia, for you.... enigmatic to such point !!! A totally confused western attorney walked away!!!
