Book Description
There is a general agreement that piracy; counterfeiting and passing off are unfair. However, there is often surreptitious – or even open – sympathy for, say, those who purchase counterfeit designer fashions or the latest technical gadgets. The pirate is even sometimes represented as a dared evil hero. In this book, Prof. Dora Nkem Akunyili, Director General of Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, presents a unique study of a global phenomenon in which lawbreaking and profiteering prevail at the cost of human health and life – and of the ways in which this can be fought by appropriate legislation, regulation and enforcement.
