It depends what it is that you're counterfeiting.
If you're producing counterfeit DVDs, you are infringing copyright.
If you're producing counterfeit Gucci handbags, you're infringing trademarks, possibly patents, and probably committing fraud, too.
In addition, in the UK at least, if you are selling something and claiming that it is something which it is not, you are breaching the "Sale of Goods" act.
