	News - ELSPA sees red over grey imports /// Eurogamer
		In an unsurprising move, gaming industry organisation ELSPA (the European Leisure Software Publishers Association) has sent a letter to the British government "expressing its dismay" at Stephen Byers' suggestions that the EU should allow grey imports, or "parallel importing" as it's known in the trade.
		ELSPA claims that allowing grey imports would somehow "reduce consumer choice and jeopardise a range of industries whose main assets are their intellectual property and brands", although we fail to see how allowing retailers to import games from other countries would in any way reduce consumer choice.
		Apparently ELSPA has just woken up to the fact that we are living in a global market, and this scares them.
