I'm not sure what you mean. They are (currently) explicitly making sure that the clothing never ends anywhere that wants/needs clothes - as in the goal is anti-charity.
Under the new law, I hope they can't take a hole puncher to it. If they are allowed, they'll do as much damage as they legally can.
Because you aren't likely to run into someone with a "fake" and they couldn't just ship them back to western countries to resell and undercut. How is that worse then them currently destroying them?
Oh, interesting. I wasn't aware of the reselling thing, and from the votes it seems a lot of others weren't either. I guess if it's just punched on something like the label/tag then that would be fine. Or maybe use permanent dye/bleach to blot it out.
