I am not saying this is an ideal situation, just that it is not surprising.
What concerns me is a dodgy shop with a nice looking webpage selling the counterfeits at close to rrp and buyers not being able to discern the difference.
It is a sad reality. That's why there are people who support Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus as the best musicians in the world.
