Like, imagine going in the sewers.

It's harder for people to, you know, really do kind of a scorched earth kind of kind of situation where they're out there just taking things down.

A lot of social has to be done by mobile or using certain software and things like that.

And there are software providers that cost sometimes like hundreds of thousands a year to use to do the enforcement from your desktop.

Usually it's going to be a paralegal at the brand that would do that or maybe a law firm that does it for a bunch of brands.

What about YouTube?

These channels are blatant.

Yeah.

And that's the interesting thing.

You say that because I didn't I don't think I've noticed the affiliate links, but the what I was going to tell you about the counterfeiting now you have federal statutes really only apply to trafficking.

So the sale of one or two items, you know, or even like an affiliate link wouldn't be considered trafficking, right?

That's why you always hear about the feds involved when something comes over by container, you know, or something like that.

But

There's state laws in most states that say the display for sale of counterfeits, which isn't as strong, or the sale of counterfeits.

You always want to be able to get a buy.

Like if I were to put a case together against one of these YouTube folks, I would click the affiliate link and obviously show screenshots of the entire process.

And I would take the affiliate links and probably take apart the link so I could show this is the affiliate account number and blah, blah, blah, all that kind of stuff from the long affiliate link.

And then I will go ahead and show that it led to the website, make the purchase, receive the goods, and put together something like this.

This is just a sample of what I provide to the client.

This is for a Nolan Ryan jersey, go Rangers.
