Duh. What you said is basically what I said, only less accurate.
I mean, it's pretty obvious that the reason they wanted "to prevent
undercutting the price of the domestic product" was because they wanted
to "get all the money".
The point of the law is NOT simply to "keep any imports out." If that
were the case then the law would say "No foreign records are allowed
into the US." They ONLY want to keep imports out if they are going to
compete with domestic products. This is obvious - we both know this.
Why do you have to dispute my accuracy with your brash flippancy when
it's obvious that both of us understand this concept fully?
