Story: Amazon.com implicated in CD-import row
Posted by: Richard Homerstone (Thursday 15 January 2004, 10:25 AM)
Just a few sticky points for the BPI to consider...
1. Isn't price fixing illegal ??? If shops here are having their minimum sell price controlled by a cartel then the law is being broken.
2. Am I breaking the law if I pick up a copy whilst in a different country and bring it back with me (irrespective of import duties) ??
I know plenty of people regularly buy pirated copies of CDs and DVDs, I don't because I know that the artist and studio will get their cut if I buy my copy legit from a cheap source.
What price does observing the law come at ?? If I can stay legal for just £1 or £2 then I will, If it's going to cost me £5 or £10 then I'll think twice about purchasing at all !!
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones !!!
