@Andrew: An excellent post, thank you. I do agree that you are also harming the producers of the work when you take it and sell it for your personal profit.

However, I still think that this behavior is fraudulent. I agree that it is not reasonable to expect a retailer to inform his customers of every competitors' lower prices.

However, if said retailer has "magically" duplicated the product of his competitor and is then selling the very same product, that he got from his competitor, fully knowing that the product is indistinguishable, then he is committing vraud. And please note, I dont mean that what he is doing is illegal, I mean that it is dishonest.
