An Interesting Legal Case

[4est_4est_Gump]

This might have an impact on those cheap drugs from Canada and Mexico.

I dunno. I'm no lawyer...

At issue in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons is the first-sale doctrine in copyright law, which allows you to buy and then sell things like electronics, books, artwork and furniture, as well as CDs and DVDs, without getting permission from the copyright holder of those products.

...

The case stems from Supap Kirtsaeng’s college experience. A native of Thailand, Kirtsaeng came to America in 1997 to study at Cornell University. When he discovered that his textbooks, produced by Wiley, were substantially cheaper to buy in Thailand than they were in Ithaca, N.Y., he rallied his Thai relatives to buy the books and ship them to him in the United States.

He then sold them on eBay, making upward of $1.2 million, according to court documents.

Wiley, which admitted that it charged less for books sold abroad than it did in the United States, sued him for copyright infringement. Kirtsaeng countered with the first-sale doctrine.

This is too brief to get into the nuts and bolts, you can start with the article or just shoot and then aim later...

So, who's using the flap holster?


Besides the Cheaps?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Uncle Joe is Biden his time...



Six whole days of debate prep. One cannot help wonder if this will make his boss look even more inept, you know, Joe aiming before he shoots...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

If Joe can even clear the flap holster.


Maybe he should stick with gettin' out stains.

[Wat_Tyler]

Did Joe just admit to Punk-ism By Proxy?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I counted six, six days before the debate.

When the kids trade a pokemon card, they'll have to send a penny to the publisher or risk a lawsuit.

Nice way to interpret copyright law.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

That is the truth plus you can leave the toolbox unlocked...

I do not know if swatch swaps are covered; just profit...


Greedy corporations.



:nods:

 

[Wat_Tyler]

And not have to pick up the tools so you can go to lunch, either.


Unless you're working inside and can lock the door.


One job, we had them come inside to steal while the back door was unlocked and we were working upstairs.


Fucking crackheads'll steal anything, any time.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

But you shoot just one and suddenly you're surrounded by, "He was such a good Church-going kid..."



Guns are bad!

 

[Saint Peter]

Buy cheaper tools.

Greedy corporations.

The cards each have a 'value' set by their manufactured rarity a complete crock of shit but hey, it gives the same potential case as they are sold worldwide.

There's no doubt it is greed that drives a company to demand that their US profits be sacred when someone finds the same product sold cheaper and splits the difference for a huge profit even after absorbing shipping fees, taxes and sales charges for eBay. If the books were so much more expensive that there was still profit to be made after all that . . .

Ruling against the free market in order to protect a US price hike? It is possible, they can just call the copyright fee a "tax".

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Just another tax on the middle-class...


Where's my Obama break?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Buy cheaper tools.

Shoot more thieves...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Buy cheaper tools.

Wash out your mouth with very expensive detergent.

 

[Saint Peter]

Just don't steal my sammy.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Wash out your mouth with very expensive detergent.

No way...
