More attacks on those seeking to give the consumer a fair deal, this article shows once and for all how copyright law is being abused to rip consumers off for different amounts in different countries and none of this realates at all to production costs as most come from the same plant.
http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6471863.stmOnline music store CD-Wow has been found in contempt of court for selling illegally imported cheap CDs in the UK.
Record companies complained that the site broke a deal not to buy cheap CDs in places like Hong Kong and re-sell them in the UK without permission.
But CD-Wow, which offers albums by acts like Oasis and Robbie Williams for as little as £6.99, condemned Tuesday's judgement as "CD woe".
