Most people know what terrorism is, but few understand the scope and scale of product counterfeiting.

The answer is simple and direct--money. All terrorist groups—Marxists as well as the Islamic extremists—need money to plan, organize and conduct terrorist attacks.

The Marxist references in post 1 jumped out at me too.
We all know about the Islamic terrorism connections; but if the Marxists ones are known too; then why haven't more harsh actions been taken?
Yep, I'll think twice now when looking at the knock-off watches, sunglasses, and handbags sold by the street vendors in the cities.
