This is a strange lawsuit. Is Spain suing BestBuy for not allowing third party sellers to hock Apple equipment in their store? I mean, Amazon is a retailer, they can choose to sell or not sell whomever’s goods they want to.

Amazon had a real problem with counterfeit and used Apple products flooding their site, so they did something about it. Now Spain wants to make sure you can buy cheap crap that doesn’t work and isn’t the real thing?

They're suing for not allowing the sale of refurbished articles, which was contrary to the agreement signed by the people who sold the refurbished articles.
