O.K. lisa, why don't you direct your copyright whining to something useful for the thread, and tell us what this means for U.S. chip makers?

Surprise high court ruling

Bet you didn't see this problem coming. A decision
by the Supreme Court this past week on export of
shampoo may change the way U.S. chip makers
manage relationships with foreign distributors. The
high court ruled U.S. producers can't use copyright
law to protect themselves from re-importation of
products at a price below those sold domestically,
Crista Souza writes in EBN.

Legal experts say the decision could come as a
blow to the electronics industry. The shampoo
maker, saying its export products were being
resold into the U. S. at below-market prices,
based its case on an appeals court ruling that
producers could use copyright code to keep the
export products out of the U.S. But the high court
ruled that once a product enters the market, the
maker "has exhausted his right to control its
distribution." For competitive reasons, some U.S.
electronics firms sell goods overseas for less than
they sell them at home and this decision will make it
difficult for them to control unauthorized
importation of their products.
