Kirtsaeng all the way to the Supreme Court - this is "huge."

1.  For an excellent overview of this important case, by Jennifer
Howard, Chronicle of Higher Education, see:

http://chronicle.com/article/Supreme-Court-Appears-Divided/135478/

"The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Monday morning in a
key copyright-infringement case, with justices asking pointed
questions about the resale and reuse of protected works. Many of the
questions homed in on possible consequences for individual buyers as
well as libraries and other institutions, but did not suggest which
way the court was leaning.

"The outcome of the lawsuit, Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons (No.
11-697), has significant implications for publishers, academic
libraries, and almost anyone who resells, lends, or displays
copyrighted material made and bought outside the United States. The
case centers on a dispute over textbooks produced by Wiley for foreign
markets but imported to the United States and resold without the
publisher's permission."
