[DeTomaso] The Fake Pantera Lives????

[boyd casey]

Dick, Did the guy selling you the bridge tell you it was a "replica" of a
famous bridge? Someone can try to sell me a copy of the Mona Lisa and tell
me its the real Mc Coy but since I know the real Mona Lisa is still hanging
on the wall in the Louvre I am not likely to be fooled.Selling counterfeits
of an item that there is only one of in the world is not a valid comparison.
Try something that there are thousands off. Watch antiques road show and see
how many phony items have been sold to unsuspecting people. If someone trys
to sell you a counterfeit bottle of Viagra and it comes from your
neighborhood Pharmacy do you think you might be fooled ( at least until you
try it). You can reduce anything to the level of the ridiculos the fact is
that their is a big difference between selling a Piccaso print and telling
your customer it is a copy and selling anything that is mismarked or uses a
copyrighted or trademarked name. There are cheap copies and their are
counterfeits that will fool an expert. The quality of the forgery is not a
mitigating factor when someone is arrested for counterfeiting. And since
when do Bridges have Vehicle Identification numbers?  Are you sure your
Lionel trains weren't made in China? How would you feel if you found
DickruzzinDESIGN  labels on things you didn't design?
Now that would be funny , wouldn't it!
