Blog Entry Thomas Abraham's Rebuttal on Parallel Importation

We thought it would be in the public interest to publish a substantive part of that conversation. In this post he points at great length how our arguments are faulty.

This blog post argues that the government should, keeping in mind the larger picture, still go ahead and legalise parallel imports.
