It is a template for what not to do. Counterfeitting still occurs. It only adds expense for manf., and invades privacy of people (probably the real reason governments push it, the anti-counterfeit is just a cover).

Plus counterfeiting is already illegal. There are lots of laws against it. Punish the violators, not everyone else.
