I think your argument is 100% valid when it is apparent to everyone in the transaction that they are buying a counterfeit good.

Quality can be synonymous with a brand. If you lead a buyer to assume they are buying an item of a quality it doesn't have, this is essentialy theft.

I agree and I replied above saying I didnt really address the hidden nature of fakes. I went to ebay looking for fakes because they are cheaper and I didn't want to actually own real ones.
