Jail Time in France for Faking It

It’s time to knock off your love of knock-offs, especially if your travel plans take you to France.  The land of Chanel, Lacoste and Vuitton is taking the act of product counterfeiting seriously and is waging a campaign against the illegal practice. Anyone feigning ignorance of the law will receive a quick lesson from authorities as fines can exceed 300,000 euros and three years in prison.  (The cost of fashion just went up.)
