Single unit sales are not at issue here, it is bulk importation that is directly aimed at circumventing pricing that is.

- guard-of-terra 14y agoDo we have guarantees that single unit sales will not become an issue? Because laws can be passed without acknowledging this and then we are screwed.
- _delirium 14y agoMy point is that their legal arguments in this case aren't limited to bulk importation, but are arguing that there exists no first-sale right at all for books that didn't undergo that initial authorized domestic "first sale", regardless of why, e.g. whether it was one book imported by a tourist who bought it in France. If their arguments applied solely to bulk parallel importation, that would be another matter. That's the "narrower" legislative fix that I proposed above: to ban the act of bulk commercial importation itself, rather than doing it in a roundabout way via resale restrictions.
