The Supreme Court wants you to pay more for things you buy online

  This is kind of politics/economics, and has a bad title to boot. If you wanted to "get libertarian" about it, you might say that companies ought to be able to put whatever they want in contracts with other companies. Maybe they don't want their stuff sold online, maybe they want to promote local resellers that will then be able to provide service and support. Or maybe they're just greedy monopolistic bastards.

  This is why sites like Amazon won't show you a price when it gets below the certain level. Because of MAP. Right?

    In the UK (and the rest of Europe I expect) such practices are normally regarded as illegal price collusion (the retailers are colluding to fix the price of the good so the price remains high).
