I am not arguing whether this is good for consumers or bad(I have no opinion/idea), I am arguing that "Goods producers" should have should have right to fix prices for their products.

I have trouble seeing Amazon a store for Kindle ebooks. In my worldview they are a middleman/affiliate/market creators. (keep no inventory, Publishers get paid after purchases etc.)




Good producers have a right to fix prices for their products. Stores have a right to refuse to stock items that it believes are too expensive. I don't see the problem here.

I don't see why you have any problem calling Amazon a store for Kindle ebooks when you're willing to see publishers as "goods producers". They're both essentially middle-men.
