So Wiley is the real, double douche here, gouging American students and then when beaten at their own game, suing to close the door it originally constructed. In the process, they may have ended the garage sale, Rose Bowl Flea Market and (GASP!) tackle swapmeets. Real nice.

If held up....

Boycotts should be imposed to any company that doesn't wave the copyright..

If Samsung allows the Gallaxy to be resold and Apple Iphone doesn't? So long Apple

"What are you "in" for?"

"Selling my iPhone to my neighbor."

Lol imagine that.

......USSC better toss this agenda into the garbage.

Great point...

They could never regulate or enforce this........So the gardner who sells his corn to a rode side stand would go to jail because his Burpee seeds were used, along with his neighbor who sold him his fishing gear......stupid idea, another waste of govt dollars. Socialism is in full force with this crap.

If this passes, I'm not going to recognize it.

And when I get ticketed for it, I'm going to sell the ticket for $0.05 cents.

In my opinion, Mr. Kirtsaeng violated Wiley's distribution rights, and should be held liable.

Unfortunately, the 2nd Circuit's ruling was overly-broad, and could be used by copyright holders to circumvent the First-sale doctrine.

This is why we can't have nice things.

(By the way, this is not a government spending or socialism issue.)

olfishergal, you need to read up on what socialism is. You seem to label everything you don't like as "socialism". You are listening to too much right wing propaganda which labels anything they don't like with that same label. This is corporate self interest taken to the extreme. This is being done by the very conservative and corporate Supreme Court. Think Alito and Roberts particularly. Think Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010). This is the Republican appointed 5-4 Supreme Court pursuing the right wing agenda of big corporations. Nothing more, nothing less. This is far more plutocracy than anything else. I don't even believe most Republican voters support this court's decisions. They merely voted for a party that has an agenda that really doesn't reflect much of what they wish. Nothing personal against you. Please don't feel like I'm picking on you. I'm not...
