Piracy on the streets of Peru

Counterfeiting is a problem in many parts of the world, but in the Peruvian capital, Lima, the black market has become a normal part of everyday life.

I had been told about the black market in Lima before I arrived, but it still somehow caught me by surprise.

I was on the edge of Lima’s bustling Chinatown, and remembered that a friend had asked if I could pick up a copy of the Disney/Pixar production of Cars for her son.

“Have you got Cars?” I asked.

Cars 2 was thrust in my face.

“But that can’t be,” I pleaded. “It’s not been made yet. Cars 1 is only being released in the cinema today.”
