Week 6 EOC "Illicit"

The Illicit world around around is a very scarey world. Something so incontinent as buying a song illegally form the internet can seem so innocent as to say "it's just a song. . ." But after watching Illicit: The Dark Trade, shows that their is something so much more darker hiding behind the scenes of these trades.  They trade more than just illegally made purses and DVDs. There are no restrictions to what they will and will not sell, trade or steal.  But alone any one government can not stop this from happening or passing through customs. Because the traffickers never stop and they have more to loose if something is confiscated or slowed when moved. China itself doesn't look at these trafficking business as an economy down fall but rather a positive boom.  The businesses brings in revenue that the government then gets taxes from.  But other countries sell more than just remade objects. Some reproduce drugs that are a part of many different markets. Some drugs can be bought on the 'black market', which are the exact same drug that is made legally just for cheaper, because it was stolen. The 'grey market' has products where the drugs were reverse engineered so that they are the same as the name brand but with out the name brand. As well as some countries producing drugs that look the same but are not made to work as the original drug was made for. Rather it is produced with chemicals that can kill, like poisons. Some countries go as far as to sell humans themselves. Either for work or for their bodies. Some remove the middle man as to say that they sell organs of a body. These are found on the 'black market' that if needed an organ that you would have to wait for someone to donate or die to get. if you have the funds and the contacts you can have these stolen organs. No matter how deep you go into this world someone can always say, 'well it was just a purse. . .' My question would be 'Are you sure? Do you know what else was on that tanker that brought in that purse?'  For me it's just easier to buy things than to steal them.  If I can't afford it, then I guess I don't need it.
