“…Accordingly, the counterfeiting trade has a considerable economic impact and, therefore, warrants official attention (see, for example, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime 2014). Research has also suggested links between counterfeiting and organised crime (see, for example, Gowers 2006;Lowe 2006;Reynolds and McKee 2010;Satchwell 2004;Treverton et al 2009). An earlier 'general criminological indifference' to IP crimes (see Anderson 1999;Yar 2005) may no longer be sustained.…”

And the curiously hesitant "perhaps" is only the first of many such moments that alternate with ultraconfident assertions: moments intended to nuance the arguments, but which are more telling as indices of the report's overall flimsiness.…”

“…From about 2001 to mid-2004, members of the "JAH Organization," a ring of West African merchants, engaged in a multimillion dollar conspiracy to launder proceeds generated from the sale of counterfeit goods (e.g., handbags and accessories) and pirated media (see Treverton et al, 2009;US DOJ, 2004).
