Article today about Amazon may be buying an apparel company. Counterfeiting major issue on line.

An added benefit to buying the retailer: American Apparel
owns a clothing factory in Los Angeles. That would position
Amazon to respond to apparel trends more quickly than
competitors that make clothes overseas -- a major advantage in
this age of fast fashion.
Plus, many apparel brands are reluctant to sell on Amazon
because they’re afraid counterfeiters will swamp the site with
fakes, confusing and angering their customers. With a factory,
Amazon could make similar clothes and steal customers from big-
name brands, a move that in turn could force those brands to put
their products on Amazon.
There’s one more thing. That factory employs about 4,000
people and would give Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos
an opportunity to trumpet his Made in U.S.A. bona fides. Not a
bad thing with Donald Trump about to move into the White House.
