It has come to our attention that there is a serious counterfeit operation selling large numbers of CDs via Amazon\u2019s FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) system. It appears that this product is manufactured in China, but is almost indistinguishable from the genuine article to the extent that even the legitimate manufacturer cannot tell without very close examination. <\/p>\n

The pirates are pricing slightly below the legitimate product and getting the \u201cbuy box\u201d on Amazon. This enables them to take over sales, leaving the real thing on Amazon\u2019s shelves and depriving artists, writers, labels, publishers, and distributors of any revenue from those sales.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please note:<\/span> The counterfeiter seems to be targeting fast moving recent releases and is able to bring illicit copy CDs to market within about two weeks of release date.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the label or distributor uses their copyright tool, Amazon will remove the fake product, but they only remove each SKU as it is reported leaving that pirate store\u2019s other counterfeit releases up for sale.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Amazon groups all products with the same UPC in the same bin, so product bought through the counterfeiter\u2019s stores might result in legitimate product being delivered to the customer but the money will go to the counterfeiters.<\/p>\n
