New legislation introduced by New York City Council Member Margaret Chin would criminalize the purchase of counterfeit goods at the consumer level. According to her press release, “The bill … will make it a Class A misdemeanor to purchase goods with counterfeit trademarks. This penalty carries with it a maximum of $1000 fine and/or up to one year in jail. The bill targets those who purchase goods which they should know are counterfeit, based on the cost or quality of the item of the conditions and location of the seller or sale.” Chin’s press release also asserts that counterfiets cost New York City $1000 in lost tax revenue annually. The New York Daily News called the legislation “plainly unenforceable,” noting the difficulty of determining whether consumers know whether or not a good is fake.
