If this student bought and imported them specifically for resale, then I'm sorry but what he did IS probably illegal, and the publisher has every right to be aggrieved.

What law would he be breaking? AFAIK, when you buy something, it is yours, and you can do what you want with it. Isn't that so? Every year, students sell the text books they don't need anymore. Is that wrong? What if I grab up some books on a promotional sale, knowing where I could resell them at a small discount yet still make a small profit - would you object to my entrepreneurship? What if I am a resident in your country, but I regularly travel back to my home country and when there, stock up on a few things, including books, that my friends and fellow expatriates back in your country requested. Would that be wrong? Then finally, what if I buy a lot of books and sell them on eBay? I don't get where, in your opinion, I crossed the line and why.
