New York City officials destroyed tons of new, unworn clothing and footwear last year that had been seized in raids on counterfeit label operations, abandoning a practice of giving knockoff garments to groups that help the needy.
Some heads need to get knocked together over this. I understand perfectly why copyright holders would have concerns, but if those concerns can be met adequately then of course the clothes should be used. Destroying perfectly good clothes? How terrible.
