Beijing's silk market hosts innumerable crowded, noisy stalls selling decent replicas of Gucci sunglasses, Callaway golf clubs, and Polo T-shirts, all at a fraction of what the real thing costs. If you don't mind an upside-down logo or misspelled brand name, the value is terrific. However, if you turn up your nose at such inaccuracies, you are likely to be invited into a narrow five-floor tenement some 200 yards away, where the hallways smell of yesterday's fried rice, or worse, and where... ...

Major League Baseball is not alone when it comes to fighting counterfeiters, who cost the sport millions of dollars a year in lost revenue. This morning, MLB unveiled a new hologram that is said to have "overt and covert elements that are designed to make it easier for both consumers and law enforcement to distinguish between licensed and bogus goods." The new hologram, which will replace the current one that shows up on MLB goods, will appear on 2008 post-season merchandise. The new design adds additional color and a sensory element, a raised stitch-like feature, that allows fans to see and touch the holograms to make sure they are real. As before, each hologram has an alpha-numeric combination unique to that item, the MLB silhouetted batter logo and other covert features. According to MLB, over the last five years, baseball has seized more than 4 million pieces of counterfeit goods. ...
