I had mentioned in a previous post that I have ambivalent feelings about counterfeiting and copying. I have yet to confront my own moral quandary but would love to have a discussion with those of you who are similarly conflicted. Lissy of a Girl in Boston recently asked her readers where they drew the line between inspiration and creative theft and I hope to expound on the premise of her post.
For those of you who have access to JSTOR, “The Ethics of Counterfeiting in the Fashion Industry: Quality, Credence and Profit Issues” (Hilton, B., Choi, C. J., Chen, S. (2004). Journal of Business Ethics, Vol. 55, No. 4, pp. 345-354) is the basis of a future post that I plan to write (having trouble putting pen to paper on this one). If you have other sources I should reference or consider, please leave a comment below or write me an e-mail.
