Of all the things that keep me up at night worrying, this ranks at about number 1,003.
Has anyone actually read the Appellate Court's decision for Wiley vs. Kirtsaeng? 2nd Circuit, Wiley vs. Kirtsaeng
It's pretty clear that this was a commercial case of large scale fraud, not simply a college student selling a few imported textbooks on the side. There are other laws on the books that (theoretically) protect against this sort of thing. Ex. you can't import, let's say, iPhones from Mali and resell them in the U.S.
Even if this ruling is upheld, which is questionable with the majority on this court, this would prove to be almost impossible to administer and enforce. Frankly, unless you are a Tea Bag Federal Government conspiracy theorist, I would advise not worrying about it very much.
