> Continuing a long string of similar cases, the Supreme Court will review a New York federal court decision that decided, in short, that the first-sale doctrine does not apply to any copyrighted product manufactured abroad.

I can _kinda_ understand manufacturers being upset about gray imports of products that they specifically don't want sold in the local market, and wont make available themselves.

(eg, "You're selling our widget that was designed to work on 110v to people who use 240v, and we're going to look bad when it blows up. Stop selling it!")

But using legal loopholes and trickery to prevent someone (re)selling the exact same thing you're selling in the same market? That doesn't sound right.
