Where does discussion of counterfeit goods fit into the forum rules? Is it just selling that gets you banned? Semi genuine q.

^ That is what applies.
IP owners are able to get in touch if counterfeits are sold via the site.
Discussions are free and open.

Yup.
Forum obeys local (UK) laws and then defines it's legal responsibilities in the above link with regards to how we operate. i.e. reactive moderation so that we're within the EU E-Commerce Directive, etc.
So IP laws apply, but they target sellers and not buyers. If you want to buy, discuss buying, discuss fakes/replicas you own... then fair enough. But you cannot sell it at all, and aside from taking stuff down if presented with a valid court order I'd hand over what information I have, etc.
