Which raises the question - do I care that they're not authentic, I mean who would really know?
The most blaring reason for passing on designer replicas is that when you give them your money you are supporting a crime operation. The majority of these products are made illegally in Chinese sweatshops for pennies.
The owners of these sweatshops are operated by crime syndicates that launder money from drugs and prostitution, and these replicas have been traced to financing rings that support terrorist cells!
I read an article claiming that some investors testified in China they witnessed children having their legs broken and improperly reset so they could not leave the factories to go outside to play. How could anyone endorse behavior like this?

Both selling and buying counterfeit goods is illegal in the U.S. Buyers will not be prosecuted, but may find their replicas confiscated. Aside from the legal ramifications, you have your own conscience to consider.
