The point is, though, Kenny, that there's a precedent for this under UK law. Book prices in the UK used to be fixed under a system called the "Net Book Agreement", which meant that nobody was allowed to sell books in the UK for less than their cover price. This was ruled to be illegal in the 1990s. Agency pricing is really just a reincarnation of the NBA for eBooks and I have no doubt that it would be found to be equally illegal.
