It was an honest question, and that's the kind of answer I was looking for. So maybe once it's been sold nothing can be done about it(unlike stolen goods, which is obviously a different case). edit: According to a professor at the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham University, buying counterfeit goods is only illegal in France and Italy[1].
