The purpose of this paper is to study what the press in Sweden wrote about Counterfeiting from 1944 to 1950. By studying how the newspapers wrote about the crime of Counterfeiting, the paper aims to give a glimpse of how counterfeiters worked and got their notes in circulation. The analysis is based on a theoretical perspective of a "we" and "they" in which Sweden is compared to the opposite abroad. The paper examines how the security of Swedish banknotes is discussed in Swedish news articles and how they describe counterfeiters and passers. The paper examines forty one newspaper clippings from the period 1944-1950 from twenty five different newspapers from different parts of the country.

It has been common with counterfeits ever since the Middle Ages continuously until today. Forgers have become more skillful and they are successful in most industries. Many of the fake products are of poor quality and can be downright dangerous to the customer.To answer the question, the author used a qualitative collection method.

OECD uppger att handeln med piratkopierade varor uppgick till 200 miljarder USD under bara år 2005, samtidigt menar de att den verkliga siffran troligtvis är betydligt högre. Asien bedöms av OECD vara den största källan till piratkopierade varor, och Kina är världsetta. Samtidigt ökar antalet svenska företag i Kina explosionsartat. Under 2007 etablerades ett svenskt företag var fjärde dag i Kina.Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur svenska företag i Kina kan skydda sig mot piratkopiering. Syftet är således även att diskutera de olika möjligheter och hinder företagen står inför.Uppsatsen är hermeneutiskt skriven med ett kvalitativt angreppssätt.

Denna uppsats behandlar ett antal åtgärder som har vidtagits inom gemenskapen för att försöka stävja den allt mer växande varumärkesförfalskningen och pirattillverkningen inom Sverige och EU. Denna olagliga verksamhet har funnits under en lång tid, och inledningsvis sågs det inte som ett större problem då det mest handlade om harmlösa t-tröjor och solglasögon utan någon skyddande verkan. Men denna syn har dock successivt ändrats med tiden. Numera kan det vara förfalskningar och kopior som är så pass välgjorda att det inte längre går att se någon direkt skillnad. Utbudet av de olagliga varorna är dessutom avsevärt mycket större i dagsläget än förr, som exempel kan nämnas drycker, möbler, läkemedel och frimärken.
