Name: John Lennon on May 13, 2009Comments: The urge of publishers and distributors to maintain total control of the supply chain at all costs, not only rides a coach and horses through the OFT’s expressed Opinion but will undoubtedly hasten the demise of many retailers depriving many communities of their local store. The OFT must act to prevent this.Flag
