Agreed. Common sense needs to prevail.
To avoid cheap text books getting dumped in the market change the Mexican version to include content relevant to a Mexican audience. Making importation into the US less appealing.
For DVDs make the default language Spanish.
For watches Add 'Omega Mexico' to the logo.
Since the manufacturers aren't taking these steps that add marginal cost to their product then clearly it isn't a significant problem. It seems so straightforward, what am I missing that the courts are struggling with.
- TheAmazingIdiot 14y agoCompanies routinely move their wares around the world for the best prices, as well as lay off and rehire in cheap market segments. I believe it's called wage arbitrage. Companies will also move their headquarters to different 'tax brackets' (read: countries that offer the best deal). To be competitive, you move non-critical stuffs to cheapest areas. Makes business sense. YET, we peons cannot buy media outside our 'zone', thanks to DVD and Bluray zone controls. And it's illegal, as in felony, to break this crap. YET, we peons cannot textbooks outside the zone a company ordains. Meh. Why are companies allowed to min-max all of their operations, yet when the small guy does it, it's illegal in XYZ many ways?
