Submission + - Cdn IP Lobbyists Caught Faking Counterfeit Data (michaelgeist.ca)
An anonymous reader writes: The Canadian IP Council, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce's IP
lobby arm, has been caught
floating false claims about the scope of counterfeiting in
Canada. Recent claims include citing a figure based on numbers
the FBI rejects ($22.5 billion), a figure the Canadian police won't
support ($30 billion), and when pressed on
the issue, it now points to yet another source that upon review
indicates it fabricated its claims.
