The hazards of selling fake and shoddy products are:

2. Fake and inferior products will increase social transaction costs. Because of the asymmetry of information and the existence of fake and inferior commodities, consumers and operators will regard all commodities as fake and inferior commodities and become extremely cautious when purchasing or purchasing;

3. Fake and inferior commodities will reduce the efficiency of market resource allocation.

4. Fake and inferior commodities will reduce the social welfare level of consumers. In order to obtain high profits, counterfeiters often cheat consumers by selling fake and shoddy goods and deprive them of greater consumer surplus.

To sum up, selling pirated goods is illegal and may face multiple legal consequences of civil compensation, administrative punishment and criminal responsibility.
