StoryBook Ceramics : We Hate Fakes Too

"You can help the IACC combat trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy by sending information on infringers and pirates directly to us. Whenever you encounter counterfeits online, on the street or at a flea market, our member organizations and law enforcement officials need to know."

International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition

For those of you who have been burned in the past by counterfeit pottery, here is a link to a website where you can report your experience and get it documented (and hopefully investigated!). The website has an email address, phone number and mailing address for snail mail.

The only way to combat the fakes is to make sure the people selling them are reported to the right agencies and groups. If enough people complain, the "powers the be" will be forced to notice and take another look at the legal loopholes that allow this shady business to go on.

So, don't just get mad. Report, report, report.
