‘It won’t be as reliable if it’s fake’: Londoners on buying counterfeit products

Is it easy to spot a fake?

Transcript

00:00And to be honest, I wouldn't really know whether it's even real or fake, to be honest, but that's the thing.

00:05The thing is, maybe I have bought a fake brand, but I don't even know.

00:08That's the thing.

00:10If I went to a shop and I had the idea to buy a Gucci belt,

00:16and the owner told me it was Gucci and I wasn't able to tell if it's authentic or not,

00:22I would be angry.

00:24Well, you wouldn't know that it would work the same, would you?

00:27I mean, I guess, I mean, if it's cheaply made, it's not going to be as reliable.

00:31So I guess no, from that kind of perspective.

00:34Well, obviously, I'll anti-do that because obviously you didn't really work for it.

00:38The company is the one that worked for it.

00:40You know, all the profits, they deserve it.

00:42Like, you know, I'm against it morally standing.

00:46Yeah, because obviously my faith, I'm Christian, so morally, I don't think it's right.

00:51So, yeah.

00:52I don't know.

00:53It's all about money, isn't it?

00:55I mean, if you can buy a fake Gucci or whatever, why not?
