The old content producers are very much in bed with the government. Radley Balko wrote about instances where RIAA (or MPAA, can't remember) representatives were with federal agents during raids.

That's fairly common wrt trademarked goods (such as high-end purses). I assume that the reason is something along the lines of "federal agents can't recognize counterfeit goods".
If the trademark owner is liable for claiming that something is counterfeit when it isn't, that doesn't seem like a horrible idea.
How do you think that federal agents should recognize counterfeit goods?
