International law enforcers shut down more than 700 online stores selling counterfeit goods in Europe and the U.S. as part of an annual Cyber Monday piracy sting.

This is the fourth year that the IPR Center has targeted websites selling counterfeit products online in conjunction with Cyber Monday.
