The detail you add here is interesting, but not substantial to the point Techdirt is making.
Regardless of how much money this guy made by parallel importing, no one should have the ability to control the sale or distribution of physical property rightfully owned by someone else. He did not steal the property before re-selling it (did he?) -- so your point adds no critical dimension to the problem at hand.
Unless of course you believe that some times some people should be able to control others' physical property, you know, for the good of us all, of course.
