What's wrong with buying fake luxury goods?
By Bethan Bell, BBC News, 15 July 2016
Every time a new haul of fake designer goods is seized we're told that the people who buy them are
ruining the reputation of brands, stealing revenue from companies, contributing to an unethical
labour market and subsidising organised crime. But is this really the case?
A BBC investigation has found over the past two years, thousands of fake goods were seized from
black markets across England.
But is there any harm in nabbing a pair of "Louboutins" from a market, or a "Chanel" handbag from
a chap selling them on a foreign beach? To the average punter it might sound a bit far-fetched that their
cash goes straight to a drugs cartel or gun-runners.
We're not talking about alcohol, tobacco or medications - buying such items clearly poses a health
risk. The same can be said for toys which aren't up to safety standards, and sunglasses which don't have the
recommended UV protection. Nor are we talking about people who genuinely believe the goods they buy
are the real thing.
We're talking about those who are happy to get knock-off designer items for knock-down prices.
The people who are well aware there may be issues about quality and copyright - but don't actually mind.
After all, are the people who buy fakes for a tenner really depriving the companies that sell goods
for hundreds or even thousands of pounds? A woman who makes an impulse buy in a market almost
certainly wouldn't otherwise invest in the real deal, while the wealthy buyers of the genuine brand pride
themselves on knowing the difference and having the official article.

Gabarito comentado
Comentário do Professor – Interpretação de Texto (Reading Comprehension)
Tema central: A questão aborda a interpretação das informações do texto, mais especificamente, quais produtos falsificados oferecem ou não risco ao consumidor.
Como resolver: Antes de responder, leia com atenção todas as alternativas e busque no texto as informações específicas sobre riscos relacionados a cada tipo de produto falso. Note que a interpretação contextual é fundamental para eliminar respostas armadilhosas.
Passo a passo:
- No terceiro parágrafo, o texto afirma que itens como álcool, tabaco, medicamentos, brinquedos e óculos de sol falsificados representam riscos à saúde.
- Logo após, ressalta que a análise NÃO se refere a produtos que apresentem esses riscos, focando em compras que não envolvem risco direto à saúde, como sapatos e bolsas falsificadas.
Justificativa da alternativa correta (D): “Um par de sapatos Louboutin” está em conformidade com o que o texto diz: sapatos falsificados, nesse contexto, não oferecem risco à saúde do consumidor. Por isso é a opção correta, de acordo com a informação central e palavras-chave do texto.
Análise das alternativas incorretas:
- A) Brinquedos: O texto cita explicitamente brinquedos falsos como produtos de risco à saúde.
- B) Óculos de sol: Também são apontados como prejudiciais, pois podem não proteger corretamente contra raios UV.
- C) Álcool, cigarro e medicamentos: Segundo o texto, esses produtos apresentam riscos claros à saúde se forem falsificados.
- E) Perfume da Chanel: O texto não menciona perfumes, tornando essa alternativa sem base textual e, por isso, incorreta.
Pegadinhas e estratégias: Note que alternativas com produtos não mencionados ou explicitamente considerados perigosos pelo texto devem ser eliminadas. Atenção aos detalhes e à comparação direta entre o que está nas alternativas e o que foi dito no texto.
Dica final: Sempre destaque palavras e ideias centrais no texto, como “not at health risk” (“não oferece risco à saúde”), para garantir a escolha da alternativa correta.
