A box costs 8 bucks. If he's selling them for 17 that's 9 dollars in profit per box. It says he bought 100 per trip, so that's 900 per trip minus gas, which would have run him around $50 for the trip. He did this 19 times already, so that's just a little over 16k that he's made in profit off of this scheme.

Is this prefect normal? Does the flute manufacturer have a right to get angry when his musical purpose sales crater and now his workers are literally making sex toys unknowingly? People who want to recognise you for selling instruments need to be corrected?

You change your company name from INSTRUMENTS-R-US to gay-flutes?

You could have just wrote "Brand dilution" instead of that wall of text, and I'm being polite here.

There are REAL liabilities, and I CAN list them for you:
1. Improper storage of products, which can be dangerous to the end customer if a product is a consumable.
2. Damage of products in transfer pushing up your warranty claims/ negative reviews.
3. Potential for the unapproved distributor to mix in fakes with the real products.

Even taking these into account, 99.99% of products sold are sold through distributors, often multiple layers of them.

[Anonymous No.16141029]

>>16140989
Right but distributors have a mountain of liability disincentivising breaking the contract they have signed with a manufacturer compared to a unknown stranger you sell something to. You don't even know where to find the stranger.

You're assuming a 3rd party couldn't come and provide value added services as well.

In the case of food sanitation and what not I agree there's a risk but to assume everyone think it is you calling the shots for this is ridiculous. You'd have more of a leg if he claimed he was you and they'd have an argument that by not identifying himself as a reseller.

Ultimately, their lawyer wrote a super long, serious accusation later to the college kid that accuse them of every single thing they can imagine. Everyone's going to tell him to drop the case because they have more money than he does and they'll spend it to run his account dry.

Now you're making terrible arguments.

>>16141763

In regards to the first sale doctrine the copyright you're talking about is protected in the sense that someone can't open up a shop and claim they're selling Krispy Kreme donuts and they use logos, marketing materials, etc to misrepresent themselves as the brand.

In a lot of cases, someone buying a genuine copy of something has the means to resell it under certain stipulations. If there is a warranty then there is very likely language in that warranty that voids it if the product you purchase was not made by an authorized distributor or the manufacturer themselves. Thus you have the 'used open box' type of businesses that sell these products that likely include a note that the product does not carry the manufacturer warranty when you purchase from them.

In regards to food there's probably some law, citation, etc. that the guy is probably in violation of anyways, but if their attorneys tell you they're going to pursue you for many claims full of legalese accusations no matter how ridiculous then he would be wise to just cease everything. Even if he was by every means legally in the right why would he want to defend himself for a business of transporting and reselling donuts?

No, it depends if he is saying he IS krispy kreme or not. If he is reselling them and not saying he is krispy kreme but stating the donuts are there is no problem. Even if the boxes have "Not for individual resale" on them, this is not likely something that can be enforced.

THIS
I lived in a small town with a mom and pop donuts shop, their hand made stuff was on another level. It was popular a late night hub spot for cool teens. Only fresh doughnuts in the small rural town.

Local Walmart opened a new bakery department and started selling donuts at massively lower prices, so low I was having a hard time understanding how they made money. Then they unofficially partnered with one of those delivery door to door delivery groups so anyone could get super cheap fresh donuts anywhere anytime for less then half of what the old local shop sold them at.

After a year the local shop died, someone bought the shop and it got tron down. A week after demolition Walmart jacked their prices higher than the shop use to have and the delivery group started charging more for their doughnut delivery fee as well.

I agree with you but nowadays every corporation is cut throat with market share and just plain reputation. People lose jobs for almost nothing. You can't ignore the fine print and there is a basic fine print when it comes to buying something. If Nike wanted to kill the legal resell market and force it all underground all it would take is a change to their terms of doing business. They can sue anyone trying to resell IF they wanted and they reserve that right to apply in the future. Music was treated like a free toy for an entire generation with limewire and now things have changed. Every single product or service is malleable and open to change because society changes and what the business goes thru changes along with market needs. The product you have should not be taken for granted just because you think so. I'm not saying it is a wise choice to always crack down on people reselling or otherwise providing your product like video games or clothing or software. You don't want to alienate your clients but in the case of food you don't want them receiving something adulterated and you being hurt by that in the end.

There's a lot of gray areas without precedence in some cases.

Ultimately, I think those that want to stay around for the long term find ways to make their business a value add as a distributor/reseller. In some cases, like the Nike shoes, the market they've created almost reinforces their long term business because people transact in 'Nike'.

I also like to think of brands like Supreme, where they kind of purposely sell out. The resellers pulling in double, triple, etc. of whatever they paid for are only reaffirming the value of the brand.

There has been a lot of research recently into Apple and Amazon. Apple basically got an exclusivity agreement with Amazon where Amazon would only let you list an Apple product if you were an approved Apple vendor, had the documentation, etc.

In the case of a marketplace like Amazon, the argument that is made that because 1 in 2 sales online goes through Amazon, that it is practically the open marketplace of e-commerce and that the exclusivity agreements may present anti-trust.

It's a lot different than the food/donut examples but there's a lot of argument over what rights a buyer, manufacturer, and reseller/distributor have.

>Why should I sell you all or even any of my product and deny the rest of the potential customers my product when you are abusing the product?
You shouldn't it's called right to refuse service, which is your right, but it's also the customers right to use the product he paid for they way he wants. If I buy a gun and kill someone that doesn't make the gun maker evil.

Here they'd be taken to court and probably fined for anticompetitive behaviour if they tried that. Was any attempt made to do likewise there?

The perception here is that your anti trust laws do too much to prevent the formation of monopolies, but not enough to prevent the abuse of monopolies.

To be fair the town's people ran a fundraiser to completely subsidized the shop for several months past what should have bankrupted it, because a group of people loved it. But everyone including the owner eventually saw it as unsustainable as everyone was too poor and it wasn't a unified effort.
Seeing him every few weeks over the year was disturbing as the extra work they put in and stress was visibly killing them, like those before and after president pictures but with another layer of Photoshop as I think they decided not to die with the shop.

>>16143660 and also kind of >>16143655
most didn't, a high school graduation was a big deal given the demographics
But I see it more as poor education and knowledge, not stupidity as they got some clever folks. And they did figure out they didn't want the shop to die, some just didn't get the connections or were too poor. Extreme poverty was likely a big factor here as many a significant minority I talked with wanted the shop to live but admitted to buying Walmart so they could afford other things. (A rate raise by the only internet service was a big deal at the time)
If you find the answer let me know, or if you want to hear my ramblings on the matter as it is something that keeps me up some nights.

general consensus was no
the shop owners had been doing it for around 40 years and were masters both at their craft and running a biz (kind of had to be good at biz given I was surprise such a poor small town could have a dedicated donuts shop at all). I haven't found doughnuts of that quality anywhere else. A new shop could only depress prices till one faction runs out of funding. And technically you could say the town ran out of money as they completely paid for the local shop for several months through donations and fundraising. Kind of wonder how many years it will take Walmart to recoup the cost they sunk in their attack?

I expect KK will open a shop in the Twin Cities soon.

Thanks to Homer Simpson, Krispy Kreme became very popular down under. But for years they had no shop in Adelaide. There was a similar local brand called Gourmet Glaze, but still a lot of people flying back from Melbourne (a similar distance away) brought back boxes of KK.

And when KK did start selling its products in Adelaide, there were initially huge queues. The initial excitement's worn off now, but they still sell quite well.

I don't think so. Local culture was very big on folks sorting things out themselves, didn't trust layers.
Also if my rental experience there was any indication I don't think they could. Housing company broke contract so I was going to take proper legal action. Found that the company owned 90% of rentals in area, and was always open to buying the last bits, and no lawyer in the area would take the case as they had all gotten yearly gifts from them just a few dollars over the conflict on interest threshold amount, so they refused. Did find lawyers out of area that would if I paid for their time and travel expenses which came to several times the amount in dispute.
Those tiny area legal firms probably wouldn't be willing to take on Walmart, if they abandon me for a nice holiday fruit basket.

I actually have a friend who does this, except he resells them in Mexico (I live in a border city) he comes everyday buys tons of donuts and takes them back to Mexico for reselling. He makes good money. I guess he is safe I dont think they will bother going after someone that is another country.

Given how rarely I eat donuts it had little impact on me, although I did go there more just out of principal of support local biz. Plus I was only there 3 years for work reasons so I never felt like a local.
But I am glad you understand and took back that stupid people thing.

Also you are starting to think about the bigger questions. Although Walmart will abolish itself. There is a growing trend of Walmart pulling out of these small towns as they don't make them money like they use to there. It has devastated them as a major employer and service provider that replaced the older shops suddenly pulls out for more profitable prospects. But it is not Walmart specifically that is the problem, but the role Walmart fills in the modern market structure. Think bigger and you will get what I'm saying.
