What is fake and how did it appear.

Let's see what a fake is, how it came about and how to fight it.

As we know, counterfeiting is a degraded, sometimes analogous and extremely rarely improved copy of a product with clearly marked authorship.

The history of counterfeiting has its roots in the deep past and is much older than the Man of Reasonable in its age, for initially the imitation of any action in animals, which can also be called learning, was a fake. From the moment of the appearance of the anthropoid apes, the fake has reached a different, qualitative level and has received that meaning, by which we now understand this word. An elementary example of the emergence of the first fakes can be the following hypothetical history: A certain number of hundreds of thousands of years ago, in a certain area, Australopithecus was walking along a stream. Accidentally, stepping on something sharp, he cut his leg. Of course, he drew attention to the sharp object, which was injured, and it turned out to be a small detached plate from the flint boulder. Taking this plate in hands and experimenting a little, our Australopithecus quickly estimated, if not all, then some of the advantages that the owner of this item receives. Returning to their community, these advantages were seen by the others, and naturally they wanted such a thing for themselves. But the place where the boulder of flint lies lies was known only to our hero; moreover, he turned out to be not intelligent in the epoch and besides, he hid this stone well very well. The tribesmen, who saw (and some tried) how well this wonderful object was cut, nothing was left, like experimenting with available materials, such as bones or other types of stone. The results of their experiments and works, they gave out as a solution, not inferior to the original, and to neighboring communities, who had no experience with the use of this subject, these works were presented, naturally as ORIGINAL.

If you look at the essence of the problem of forgery, then it is the ability of a person to repeat + improve anything that was created before him, we owe our level of development and everything that surrounds us! By itself, a fake, in the modern sense, has 2 problems:

1. Damage to the author

2. Damage to the consumer

And if the fakes are not afraid, and armed with knowledge of how to distinguish a fake from the original, then this damage can be avoided!
