Makes great deal of sense ..
Allows grey market sales of genuine goods to be advertised ..
Breaks the monopoly of so called luxury goods makers and hits their vastly over priced items ( frequently just branded tat ..and their regional pricing policy ( hope this also gets extended to pre recorded DVD's etc... region free puhleeeese )
Provides redress against fakes ..

What is not to like ..

Disclosure ..in a previous life :))I was a genuine goods grey market trader , perfumes , LVMH , 501's , cosmetics ..and even coca cola ( us Europeans in licensed bottling and canning still made old coke ..used to sell truckloads of "Original" formula bottles and cans back to the USA ..sourced straight out of official coke plants in Europe ) ..501's came the other way ( European prices were 5 times USA ) ..french luxury goods and cosmetics to Japan via Hong Kong ..swatch to anywhere and every where ..And official Harley branded goods were 5 times cheaper in USA at wholesale than in France ..moved lots of those too ...always real goods..never fakes ( confirmed by customs authorities ..every shipment )..just reranched ..legally ..only the brand owners and their "local exclusive retailers" were unhappy ..

These laws stick ..I might just start up again ;))
