counterfeit luxury goods.<BR><BR>Quoting a judgment from France's Tribunal de

"committed acts of counterfeit" and "prejudice" against it by failing to monitor 
the authenticity of goods being sold on its Web site.<BR><BR>In a verdict billed 
as a first in France, it is understood eBay was ordered to pay 20,000 euros, or 
$31,058 at current exchange, in damages, though Hermès declined to confirm the 
amount.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/39508FDB-D86B-4603-B520-35FD1CDB144D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
