U.S. Seizes Websites, Alleges Fake Nike, Coach Sales

U.S. federal courts have ordered the seizure of 82 websites alleged by authorities to have sold counterfeit goods, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said.

In an announcement timed to coincide with so-called Cyber Monday, known as the busiest online shopping day, Holder said the Justice Department is cracking down on websites that peddle fake brand-name goods that violate copyright and other intellectual property laws.
