Is there ANY country on the planet where something like this is the law?
By what basis could the SCOTUS rule in favor or Wiley and Sons? Of course, considering their decision in the past, that does not mean that they would not rule that way. Even if they did, good luck enforcing it. A ruling like that would create a great underground economy that would end most sales tax. |

I seriously doubt the SCOTUS will overrule the first sale rule.
It is a VERY old decision. They chose to sell in the American marketplace.......so our rules apply.........especially one that is over 100 years old for god's sake IMHO. |

That would not be a true violation of the first sale rule since it could be argued that he was not the first buyer in the sense of the first sale rule. It was assumed, IIRC, that the first sale rule applied to people who used that item personnally. So, this case, IMHO, will not remove that old first sale rule. Which is what that article is espousing from what I got from it. In other words, an item purchased for resale purposes is not within the true meaning of the first sale rule from my understanding of that rule (i.e., not within the "flavor" of that old rule). |

Nah he effectively became a dealer selling foreign market textbooks that his relatives shipped to him. It's still a cool case though to see I'd the Court will buy into attempts to restrict products after they are dumped into the stream of commerce.

I could swear that this type of issue occurred years ago and it was ruled upon by a high court. And, it was held that the buyer was violating the first sale rule because he purchased the items for resale and was subject to the publisher's rules for buying those items for resale. I guess I am wrong though? ETA: I swear it was an old case where a guy was buying foreign newspapers and reselling them in the States to immigrants of the same ethnicity? Another ETA: Maybe it was an old tax case?? I just can't remember. |

I just think its great that someone found a way to screw the college book publishers back. The price on college books is ridiculously high. Did they think everyone would want to pay their exorbitant prices? Once they started losing money on resale - a new edition started being released every year or two. You can see through the generations of college books how the quality degrades by this high upkeep and output. The index and other tools in the back of the book consistently worsen each cycle.
If they really wanted to find a fight worth fighting they should probably be going after the people who scan their books & release searchable PDFs. Hell at least people can find key words & subjects with the find feature as opposed to the neutered index. Its very similar to the music/video industry failing to keep up with technology & needs of the end user. It's only a matter of time before all manufacturing goes through the same thing as the technology revolution marches on. Paper books are no longer the best way to convey information (and haven't been for some time). They would be much better off selling a digital copy. Then begins the debate about copy protection & how they stop students from copy pasting $140 pdf files. Ridiculous. |

How could they enforce it? You'd have to register everything you buy, and that would only be step one. There would have to be a way of confirming everything anyone owns is registered to them.
 You'd basically have to report every dollar you spend .... Oh I see it now, more tax is collected on 2nd hand sales from the seller on income and the buyer on sales. This bullshit is getting way out of hand, it's not slowly boiling any frog it's more like throwing it into a ladle of molten steel.
