The fake merch products have been listed on legitimate online marketplaces such as Etsy and Amazon.

“Plaintiff is forced to file this action to combat defendants’ counterfeiting of its registered trademarks, as well as to protect unknowing consumers from purchasing counterfeit products over the Internet,” the lawsuit states, per Rolling Stone.

The lawsuit cites specific URLs addresses rather than actual vendors or individual people involved, because the sellers have gone to great lengths to not reveal who they are.

“Tactics used by defendants to conceal their identities and the full scope of their operation make it virtually impossible for plaintiff to learn defendants’ true identities and the exact interworking of their counterfeit network,” the lawsuit states.

The purpose of the lawsuit is to protect “unknowing” fans from purchasing counterfeit and unauthorized mechandise, according to Harry‘s lawyers.

Several different sources/insiders/friends of Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are explaining the reasons behind the decision to halt their relationship.
