“It’s really about proving harm to sellers, not harm to consumers,” said Justin Hurwitz, Director of Law and Economics Programs at the nonprofit institute, International Center for Law & Economics.
…Nonprofit legal organization International Center for Law & Economics President and Founder Geoffrey A. Manne said that while the suit wasn’t unexpected, but the scope of it is more surprising.
