I don't see traditional counterfeit goods like watches and perfumes being printed any time soon.

The economic harm caused by both actions is analogous; "printing" goods is basically a more sophisticated way of counterfeiting them.

Counterfeiting implies the intent to deceive the customer. I'm not counterfeiting when I burn a copy of legal music to put in my car's CD changer. If I made many copies and sold them at a flea market, that would be counterfeiting.
