The last article "Could Selling A Used Book Become Illegal?" is titled wrong. The discussion is actually about the import and export of text books. Nothing to do with the selling of used books.

By Wiley's interpretation, it means Americans are unable to buy books from amazon.co.uk. If we had similar laws, we cannot buy any books from outside the country. We would have to wait for each publisher to set up a presence here in Malaysia, and sell their books locally.

I just checked again, and Scotus already ruled in favour of Kirtsaeng. http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases...wiley-sons-inc/

If you have any relative living in the USA, and want to arbitrage textbooks from poor third world countries, Wiley's response was to raise prices outside the USA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirtsaeng_v._...y_%26_Sons,_Inc. Maybe there are other publishers still ...

This article posted before the Scotus decision listed the dire consequences that might have resulted if he had lost the appeal. http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/26/justice/...?iref=obnetwork
