A Way To Stop Getting Ripped Off Offered to Consumers & Businesses

Americas Watchdog formed in order to insure consumers were getting the genuine product, and to protect big and small businesses from having their products stolen by crooks, nearly a year ago, the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants as a way to curb global counterfeiting. The group has indicated that, out of safety concerns, and or concerns over theft of intellectual property/ the actual manufacturers product, it will go to war to protect a trade marked or a manufacturers protected product. One example of the groups efforts has been to advise global consumers not to purchase pharmaceuticals over the Internet unless the product can be verified as real. The global counterfeiting of drugs costs pharmaceutical companies and their shareholders $100 billion per year. "This is not acceptable", according to the group.

The Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants have discovered, aside from legitimate drug companies losing $100 billion dollars a year to counterfeiting, the following:

* Airplane & automotive parts are being counterfeited in India, China, and elsewhere, and are being sold as the real deal. Who would want to fly on an airplane, or drive in a car/truck that had sub standard replacement parts? Automotive or Airplane parts makers are welcome to contact the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants anytime in order to discover if their products are being counterfeited.
* After a year long investigation the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants have identified numerous web sites offering free down loads of current movies, video games or music CD's. If a film studio, video game maker or record label has an interest in identifying these sites and shutting them down, they are welcome to contact the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants anytime. "The free downloads of movie, games and music compact discs is costing the global entertainment industries billions each year", estitames the group.
* Global software or computer program piracy or counterfeiting is completely out of control. The Global Piracy & counterfeiting consultants has the ability to track down software pirates or counterfeiters and work with the actual manufacturer to shut them down.
* Pharmaceutical or drug counterfeiting, as already mentioned, is a $100 billion per year global business and growing. Either the actual manufacturers do not care, or their anti counterfeiting initiatives are totally ineffective. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals or drugs are costing each drug maker millions or billions of dollars per year, consumers are at extreme risk from counterfeit drugs (especially those purchased on the Internet) and because of inaction on the part of major drug companies, counterfeit drugs have but the shareholders of large pharmaceutical companies at risk because of the enormous liability created when large companies do not protect their brand. Add to the fact that organized crime is deeply involved in counterfeiting drugs because it is so lucrative & you have a recipe for a global consumer & shareholder disaster. Shareholder and brand protection the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants can make instant contributions to identifying the biggest counterfeiters, if drug companies are serious about consumer.
* Medical device/product manufacturers are also having their products counterfeited at historic levels. Counterfeiting is costing most medical device makers millions each year & consumers are being put at risk by poorly made knock off medical devices/products.
* Cigarette makers are also being taken to the cleaners by organized crime counterfeiting their products. The Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants estimate that 200,000,000,000 counterfeit cigarettes are made each year in China alone. That is enough cigarettes to give every man, woman and child in Canada 300 packs of free cigarettes per year.

If any type of manufacturer of any type of movie, spare parts, video game maker, music recording, any type of software company, any type of pharmaceutical company, any type of medical device/medical products manufacturer, or tobacco products maker is serious about brand protection, and making it harder for counterfeiters to sell their product, they should contact the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants anytime at 866-714-6466 or visit their web site at Http://GP-CC.Com. Counterfeiting will not stop without efforts to make it much more difficult to counterfeit. Why should businesses just hand over market share to organized crime without an effort to confront the problem? The Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants will go to the source counterfeiting country to establish all the needed proof for legal or diplomatic action, as part of its investigations.
