I'm hoping to get legal advice regarding MAP pricing (Minimum Advertised Pricing). This is a practice whereby manufacturers try to dictate to retailers the minimum price at which they will allow their products to be sold. It has become very common among manufacturers who sell a lot to internet retailers. I'm curious as to the legality of such practices. It seems to me that it could be construed as something a kin to collusion but I don't know. Is there anyone who knows of the specific laws governing this type of thing?
