[...] >sell it, limits on price (but not forcing high prices, that's not legal), What do you mean 'but not forcing high prices'!? They can do anything they d*mn want with the prices. (Just see what Apple did with the Mac). They can control what reltailers SELL it for (Just look at what HP did, and might still be doing today). >EVERYTHING. That vendor.doc is a legally binding contract between ID and >their retailers. If the retailer doesn't comply with ID's wishes, they >can not sell it. That is the law. period. I agree.
