webfact Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Liverpool look like the final - but for Kampanat it looks like jail! Picture: Daily News A Thai man is facing four years jail for making a nice living selling fake football shirts. Arrested yesterday in Bangkok was Kampanat Prasertsuk, 25, who was doing a roaring trade on the back of Liverpool's progress to the final of the Champions' League. He was selling their shirts at 500 baht a time on his Facebook page. These were copies from China but the real thing could be 2,000 baht or more. He was caught in possession of nearly 4,000 shirts ripping off Nike and Puma at his house in Samphanwong when the pirate police arrived with a warrant.

Adidas, who predict over $2 Billion of shirt sales from their contract with Man Utd? Football fans who feel cheated when they see cheap shirts being sold? I don't believe anybody is hurt by this kind of "crime". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why genuine are more expensive than knock offs in part, to pay Man U. Believe what you want, but seems pretty basic economics to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesimps Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The supporters get ripped off by the clubs paying through the nose for the genuine articles (which are probably made in Chinese sweat shops anyway). The inflated prices go towards paying the players' massive wages and lining the owner's pockets. A shirt cost next to nothing when I was a kid, however the salary of a top class player was about fifteen UK pounds a week and players took a bus to the game as opposed to arriving in their lambos. Saying all that, great result for the Redmen against Roma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the teams and companies lose nothing. It is the counterfeit shirts sold in Europe and North America that cause losses for the teams/companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berybert Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 He is making money, no one is losing any. Thai people can just about afford 500 baht for a rip off shirt. They cant afford 2000 baht for a genuine one. Leave the guy alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
