I confess I'm confused about this whole pricing model. I thought price-fixing was illegal - something to do with cartels and restraint of competition. The UK used to have what I think was called the 'net book agreement' whereby publishers dictated the minimum price retailers could charge......but it was outlawed years ago because it was strangling the small traders in favour of the big chains. Now we seem to have come full circle.
