Yesterday Jamie Love e-mailed Bruce Sterling (the science fiction) and asked him to help come up with a new term for counterfeiting because, “There are significant problems with overusing the term.” Science Fiction? Give me a break.
In any event, it's a moot point because there is already a word that accurately describes international prescription drug counterfeiting – that word is “crime.” And it translates accurately into most languages.
(As far as Jamie's "significant problems" are concerned, that's another issue for another time.)
