> The takeaway from allowing price discrimination isn't (mainly) that Americans get gouged, First of all, no one is talking about disallowing price discrimination. You can always price your books however you'd like. The argument is whether the Federal Government should be involved with providing the artificial means to price discrimination for a specific industry. > it's that Thai students get access to textbooks they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford. How do you know this? If there is a viability for local publishers in Thailand you'd never know it, because US publishers can compete unfairly with them by subsidizing their Thai sales with large US margins. If US publishers had healthy international competition, the Thai students would be better served. How is this not unfair dumping into the international scene?
