Robert Steven Brown: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

I am Robert Steven Brown, a founder and a Managing Director of New World Merchant Partners LLC, a corporate transactional advisory firm. In the course of my work and my life I come across some interesting people, antecdotes, statements, books, and stories, which I feel should be expressed to someone or at least anyone who will listen, but which are somehow inappropriate for posting on my work blog (newworldmp.blogspot.com) or other blogs. I hope that you find these little posts as humorous, interesting, or illuminating as I do. Please feel free to post comments, whether or not offensive.

Caveat Emptor

Tourists, beware: Proposed law would make it crime to buy knockoff goods - NYPOST.com

Honesty, this just strikes me as bizarre.  I suppose that purchasers will now need to conduct a full due diligence review on each product prior to purchase in order to ensure compliance.  Unfortunately, another case of regulation gone completely amuck.  Granted, I am not in favor of intellectual property infringement.  At least in my opinion, logic dictates that enforcement take place at the active infringer level (e.g., manufacturer or retailer), rather than by means of the consumer.
