Trip Report Day 4 - Cliff exploration

[jsteil]

I was reading an interview with Ziggy Marley's wife the other day. She was talking about the promotion of the Marley movie and things related to it. She told the interviewer that they believed Bob Marley merchandise would sell about 1billion dollars, but 600 million of it would be counterfieted Bob Marley merchandise, dvd's, cds, etc. She then talked about how they have to sue for trademark and copy right all the time. I'll see if I can find the interview again and post it. I was in awe over the 600 million number.

"The biographical movie about Bob Marley is scheduled to premier on April 20 and is expected to set off a surge in demand for the Reggae legend's music and products. Hilco Consumer Capital, the private equity fund that owns the Bob Marley merchandise franchise, estimated in 2009 that global sales would soar to one billion dollars; however, out of this figure, $600 million are chalked up to unlicensed sales."
