I like how the ruling was basically: the plaintiffs could not state a case- DUH. MAP pricing is a sales tool that actually helps OTHER companies to Guitar Center's detriment. There are plenty of shady things that could use cleaning up in the MI retail world. MAP pricing is NOT one of them. When the FTC more directly regulated commerce, stuff like this would never have even been heard in court. A similar suit was brought against Mesa Boogie recently for the same thing and likewise dismissed.
