Counterfeiting: Vanguard

[Charlieosity]

everything is made in china anyways what's the difference.

[marumito]

dang this Chinese reporter is hella Hot! I wouldn't mind buying knock offs from her! lol

[rontayan]

So we should keep feeding the top 1% by spending more for top the real product and not download anything? F THAT! I've seen MTV Cribs.....Look lets face facts if American's where losing so much in money to corporate greed we would rather buy the originals because its easier...however...the top 1% have forced our hand...

[MrBarelylethal]

she's hot

[DryhedUryne]

hmm ill take her to a dark alley way or my hotel... her choice and she dont even have to buy me

[isashach]

Well OFC you're going to get crap quality if the movie that you're trying to buy was released a day or two ago in the states... the only copy that they can get is a cam, or a TS at best. 

[punkraver16]

This is illegal, I get that. But don't you think this reporter is kind of being a bitch? We get the point. They don't want to be seen doing something "against the law."

[acdc2468]

If the most dangerous thing in a dark alley way is fake louis v purses and not robberies, rape or drugs...im down with that!

[laetrille]

WOw that chick was hott, ill buy her a real louis vutton bag n then take her to my hotel.

[g0801215]

Instead of trying to stamp out the trade of illegal DVDs. Manufacturers should be lowering the prices so that people start buying from them without taking the risk of getting a poor quality pirated copy.

[skatergeek19811]

@g0801215 That's how I feel too ...rather than attempting to legislate demand - work with it and counter it with a product at a better price!

[mentalmetal1]

i don't mind ghetto versions. hearing niggas in the theater yelling at the screen is part of the hollywood magic.

[etniko]

I wanna counterfeit fer

[tukaibilam]

i bought my skechers and thought it was made in the US...sadly it was from China.Damn!

[Manafichu]

This may shock you, Pirated DVDs are sold in WAL MARTS IN CHINA!!

[rdwaters]

Yet another subtle reinforcement of mindless consumerism. And I'm guessing we're supposed to feel sorry for the corporations that are being plagued by this "epidemic"? When you deal with AL GORE, expect blatant propoganda.

[1984chupacabra]

Angela Sun is hot

[clank1]

I want to go there and buy fake dvds with fake money. double wammy

[timoback3000]

Counterfeit kingdom. Good story

[vastawake]

knockoff shit is awesome. douchebags that buy stuff for huge prices because it has some label on it deserve to pay high prices. do you think that the workers that make the Louis Vutton shit get anymore money than the workers that made the knockoff stuff? My guess is hmmm... not? So OH No Louis doesn't get another couple grand out of his sweat shop and some Chinese vendor makes a few bucks insted. Everybody wins with knockoff clothes and handbags in my opinion!

[rehndawg]

and the real purses were made in sweatshops as well

[beezyb42011]

god damn, we should embargo china.. or not.. or maybe..

[Manafichu]

LOL PIRACY IT'S A CRIME.

I'd laugh If I saw that on a fake Disney DVD.

[Thisisyourworld]

@Manafichu bro, where i live, u can only buy fake dvds and they all come with a copyright ad at the start. hahahhaa

[OfficialDartanian]

i'd hit that

[mattriken]

Vanguard has some of the hottest reporters!

[evileyez504]

that little louie vuitton wallet shoulda been $15 at least

[rsmarkster]

4:28 LEGSS, your welcome.

[dokkiro]

I think I remember her. Wasn't she a movie actress? Kids and better luck tomorrow?

[sinistercharlie]

this bitch is stupid

[dillyjanjan]

How knock off are these knock offs. If the LV factory has hundreds of workers and a few of them leave with the pattern and open up another factory that makes the same thing...Is it really a knock off? Do we just call it a knock off because it is done illegally or is the quality truly inferior?

[sadiew1990]

@dillyjanjan usually the quality isn't as good - as far as i understand -though not necessarily bad. That makes sense, because the more money you are gonna get on something (hopefully) the more effort is gone into making that item (even if it still isn't worth the huge price tag).

[profsat5]

I don't give a shit about this. Why don't they show how Wal-Mart buys 90percent and more from China.I think wal mart does more damage than any street vendor.

[ricep1cker]

yes important issues cuz Louis Vuitton has done so much for the community.

[sinistercharlie]

@ricep1cker yea i know who gives a fuck they not hurting any1, regardless we all know the people that can afford the real shit dont buy this phony stuff, so it shouldnt even matter

[ballm0use]

vanguard only employs hot chicks...

[azulalover97]

Went to a store in China, thought is was actually legit Louis Vuitton. The lighting, the seating, the sales people the location. Turns out it was counterfit. From know on when I go shopping in China, I will do it in the big plaza's or in HK at central or in france................

[MrReymoclif714]

We spend about %1 on infrastructure while China spends %9 and this is what leads to loans to construction companies that WILL be paid back and not defaulted on. Our Economy is in some deep shit and it needs some radical and persistent changes if we are going to ever be taken seriously!

[maxmanrules]

Weird, I thought people would torrent it

[MrReymoclif714]

I'm willing to bet that Chinas nuclear weapons are not counterfeit at all. Instead we will find that with all their expanding economy that they have the latest and the best that real money can buy! Ever wonder why we treat china with kid gloves? They have the ability to wage and win a nuclear war even though the concensus is there will be no winners in such a confrontation.I sincerely doubt that we are going to be a major power in the not so distant future? This is a wake up!

[maxmanrules]

@MrReymoclif714 If they fire a weapon then others will too. That results in an effed up world for everybody. PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING STUPID!!!

[MrReymoclif714]

@maxmanrules Thumbs up and no arguement. I am 55 and remember huddling under the chair and being told to figuratively kiss my ass goobbye! The fear was real to have think about this stuff in the second grade! My main comment was a take on the booming economy of China as compared to our foundering economic society.

[DJAstonman]

Counterfit merchandising isnt just rampid in China its a problem in North America too. in Toronto its pretty Easy to Get a Great looking Watch For Dirt cheap (not going to say where cause i love it) and DVDs that *cough* are New release .

[maxmanrules]

@DJAstonman Yeah, but those watches are probably made in China

[FXThug]

lol i can buy all this fake in some asian malls in my City of Vancouver BC

[Deimos69r]

"so we turned the camera off" duuuuurp

[thekooj]

noticed she only showed one of the videos she purchased that has poor quality. I bet the others were playing like the real thing.

[pronick76]

Made in China=fake and pour quality product

[strategicconsultants]

@pronick76

its kinda sad that real american products are just as poor when it comes to quality

[VoidOnTuesday]

@strategicconsultants what real American products?

[Osher79]

@pronick76 that isn't right, how much u pay=what kind of stuff u get. there are some rally nice stuff which are made in China, and you still can get a bargain price for it.

[nixrate]

interesting enough that the knock off's are Chinese and yet the real bags are probably made in china and just cost 50 bucks more.

[FXThug]

I bet girls get wet looking at nice purses.

[eastern2western]

mexicans can do copies way better than the chinese

[HelmetBlissta]

Yay for counterfeit . Either the originals are over-priced or better quality . Either way it's more choice for us. Hooray.

[slikkwon]

wasn't this chick caught snooping around DPRK?

[bongmannz]

Angela Sun is fuckin kooott :3 man they haz hawwt reporters

[purecuIt]

Yeh; I bought "legitimate" Prada sunglasses for $280 off a Chinese website.

Everything looked good, until they arrived...then clearly they were no different from the $20 gas station version.

I should have spend like 70 more bucks, not jewed, and gone to the real store, lol!

[Mayo0osa]

Those are all over the internet .. n u can easily find those selling there stuff in public ..

[Blindeyeseesfar]

Make more Vanguard videos with Angela Sun! I like her voice and tone, and she's cute! Win for everyone!

[heatherRyan8]

I don't know about anybody else but I ain't following anybody into a dark alley to buy a fake bag!!! I've watched Hostel, lol :)

[FILTHYPAKI]

I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW THIS SKANK MY SECRET COCK.... RIGHT DOWN HER THROAT!!!...

GAG BITCH GAG!

[245akolmane]

I would let her sit on my face

[XxBodomChildxX]

@245akolmane yum me too

[mrbooyeah]

i love pirated goods , spent heaps in thailand on my last trip shopping , dvd's , clothing , anything bring it on i say

[211Alucard]

So what if they are not the really LV.Free market.All the name band hate this.

[MrKicks2010]

i knew she looked familiar lol.. yahoosports girl! cool.

[rukawa911]

this to the average chinese people are just everyday day. the crackdowns are seasonal.

[chinasweetbaby]

he is yea yea @ her boobs

[tranxendentalist]

the piracy commercial on the bootleg was hilarious

[juegas]

Damn she's cute!

[toddviv]

And we are supposed to care that Louis vuitton loses money on the sale of counterfit bags? When these companies use and exploit workers?These people are only trying to survive selling this stuff. So all these multi-nationals can kiss my ass. We need to address the issues of innequlity before we go judging people in asian countries

[Hashishin13]

@toddviv No we just need to abolish intellectual property in general, its complete crap. Monsanto and other corporations are literally trying to copyright our crops.

[slikkwon]

@toddviv

yes that way everyone can be equal someday

[toddviv]

@slikkwon yea wouldn't it be nice

[timothemad]

@toddviv No, who gives a crap if the rich get richer or not. What i do give a crap about is, the people that make the fake stuff also only want money or they wouldn't do it, would they... and they don't give a shit what they copy or fake, like the infant milk that killed many children, or the dog food that killed many dogs, i want protection from fake goods, i wont buy any vuitton goods, because it's elitist crap anyways, but i guess you can't see past the trees, when will the justification end?

[captinseperoth]

@toddviv

also,i think cheap movies will benifit mega corps in the long run.

i mean if they can only sell 1,000,000 20 dollar dvds of a movie, vs the 20 million copies at 5 dollars each

the 5 dollar dvds would make the corporation 20 million for the 20 dollar movies vs the 100 million dollars for the profits on the 5 dollar dvds .

[niviob]

@toddviv Louis Vuitton doesn't produce clothing/shoes/bags in China, everything is made in France... So they don't exploit anyone. Most of the couture brands don't produce stuff in China.

[VoidOnTuesday]

@toddviv If you think that the conditions inside a factory that produces $200-$400 purses is WORSE than the conditions inside a factory that turns out counterfeit purses at $25 a pop, well. I'm surprised that you couldn't make this leap yourself.

[Nextman916]

@toddviv umm your a dumbass, all authentic louis vuitton is either made in france or italy which pay extremely high labor wages to the workers, they're not being exploited. There are literally millions of other things/services these street vendors can sell besides counterfeit products for profit, so thats not an argument either. Im in favor of saying, if you can't afford real louis vuitton just DON'T buy a knockoff, just live within your means and buy another bag meant for a say $50 price tag.

[toddviv]

@Nextman916 a spokesman for the company arent you. Sorry when it comes to LV i prefer the fake-rather than there jerk-off fussy stuff.

[Nextman916]

@toddviv its obvious not everybody can afford such things, inequality is not the issue here. By you supporting the production/sales of counterfeit products you ARE in favor of killing original ideas and designs. YES LV is ridiculously lucrative however they have the right to their profits for their designs, just as much as any artist or musician per say. These people can sell something else, and the people buying should look within themselves to settle for what they have not pose to have more.

[toddviv]

@Nextman916 you defnitely have a point 

[Pct3ch]

@toddviv preach it. ~Pct3ch~

[timetraveler2006]

@toddviv

they're just reporters.

Their job is to report- not be conscientious of the issues.

[ignorance2010]

jaja Have you ever been to Mexico? Same thing. The thing is that these countries need these illegal markets because it actually helps the economy.

[shaka23h]

piracy is a livelyhood for a lot of ppl in china... plus only the foreign tourists can afford the more expensive stuff...

[hongpingmike]

these are all over SH and China.... "lao cheng wang miao" has so many...

[SwisherStreets]

shes hot!

[hongpingmike]

agreed!!!

[McOath]

are you shitting me. this is shocking? maybe it's cause I live in mexico, but then again montreal was like this too. I feel wrong paying more than what would be $2 american for movies.

[clandestinoILEGAL]

I keeo getting this message on some current videos "This video is not available in your country" WTF DUDE thats wrong

[clamchowder01]

We should go out together to look for pirated stuff =)

[098oo]

When a worker in a developing country is making shirts and jeans for $2 an hour; a movie producer wearing the said shirts and jeans, makes millions on selling some "intellectual products", who is the pirate?

[098oo]

Most movies suck. If the moviegoers can get a refund for a bad movie, more people would support cracking down harder on counterfeitting. Why would anyone pay $19.99 for a movie he can't stand after only 2 mins in?

If the studios are any smarter, they would get rid of the geological restriction on Hulu or BBC, and let "the outsiders" join in, so that fewer people would be forced to wait a year to watch an episode of "the office".

[098oo]

Talking about the DVDs, 1) the sources of ALL pirated movies are from the West.(google wareZ). 2)Mininova and thePiratebay are the "counterfeiting DVDs" of the West. 3) "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone" -Jesus

[098oo]

What's the difference?

People who buy luxury goods value ONLY the NAME of the brand, in order to satisfy their needs for attention, to make them seem noble or rich. Vanity is the key. The quality of the goods and the character of the buyer, are not behind the purchase motives.

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

(continued)

HA HA 0:13 look at the guys eyes when shes talking HA HA EXCELLENT

hes like what the fuck is this bitch....

what was she saying 'knock off' what

HA HA 1:39 he wasnt hiding hes like 'yeah ima be in hollywood bitch'

4:00 looks like they gotta bootleg some spell check

4:28 love them legs, i bet she taste good

that laptop looks fake....and when its all said an done YOU BOUGHT PIRATED SHIT SO YOU COMMITTED A CRIME despite what you where trying to show

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

0:13 if you dont think its real why ask him if he said no i bet you wouldnt question him

'is it real'

'YES BITCH ITS REAL FOR THE 9TH FUCKIN TIME NOW BUY MY SHIT'

HA HA

[themassakr]

The shady ass journalism is worse than the counterfeit in this report! We all know it's illegal, we know it exists, so why not respect the seller when she asked not to be filmed?? There's an unspoken code in the underground world of counterfeit....you journalists fuck it up for your own pleasure. Your story didn't change anything, unless you reported people. They respected your interest so why not respect their business, illegal or not??

[herenthere]

b/c the point of journalism is to expose the truth, and since the sellers are knowingly doing something illegal, then they deserve to be exposed

[themassakr]

yes but....it's OBVIOUS that it's illegal and it's OBVIOUS that it's being done in public. So we all know about it already. It's no big shock.

[herenthere]

right, but the "unspoken code in the underground world of counterfeit" applies only to the ppl who do business illegally. This 'code' does not apply in the real world.

[themassakr]

I very much disagree. It applies to the seller and the buyer. that is one of the reasons that piracy is such a big business....because we the buyers don't go out and buy something counterfeit then rat on the seller afterwards.

[herenthere]

The reason piracy exists is not b/c buyers don't rat them out, it's b/c the sellers want to make money by doing something illegal. If no one attempts to expose piracy and the black market, which is often linked to even bigger issues (drug, human trafficking,) then this world would be full of crime. Getting back to your original comments, if she or any other investigative journalists had not gone to film this or other crimes, most people would not have any idea of what goes on behind the scenes.

[negkreyol21]

that doesn't make any sense there many people who see it as an easy way to make a living all they do is go to the movies videotape it and make a cover and then sell it it doesn't mean that they sell drugs or traffic girls on the side.many people make money in several ways it is just what they find that is easy to do and it is not all monopolized by some underground crime syndicate there's a demand so people provide a supply

[Hashishin13]

@herenthere Get off your high horse, these people claim ownership to ideas, that in its-self is criminal. It has VASTLY slowed down the transfer of ideas and has led to Monsanto and other corporations literally attempting to copyright the crops we need to live.

[herenthere]

@Hashishin13 I don't understand your argument. Are you saying that I am supporting piracy or not?

[pinkheadphonesguy]

i thought this was about the loaded vanguad

[recorderdevoix]

All of that stuff sells here in China as well, of course. Very few Chinese could afford the "real" thing. The pirated goods sold in China represent a new kind of cultural revolution. Young Chinese, the future leaders of China, are now wild about the West. The export sales of these goods also help to raise many Chinese out of poverty. How many people feel sorry for Hollywood's or Versace's potential losses due to these sales?

[bugogorac]

And some people care, but disagree that economy of ideas can work in the same way as the economy of tomatoes. But most stupid, conformist people don't understand that...

[yufeizhou]

wow, just go to Chinatown in NY, LA... pirated DVDs are everywhere

[LeonChan]

Hey, when I was little, the playground I hang out in.

Old ladies would come in with carts and carts of illegal dvds, and hide them. hahaha. I wish i could've snatched a few, but I didn't for some moral reason lol.

[Saneperson92]

I bet the people who sell those things illegally make a better profit then actually selling them as a vendor.

[AirForce194]

wow...

[manuelito1233]

The worlds commercial secrets here!

[R0kket]

Interesting.
