3. If you don't like it, tough.
Where that falls down is that when a publisher refuses to sell a book for whatever reason, consumers don't have to do without. If the publishers don't like that, they have the power to do something about it. If they choose not to that's up to them, but there is no point stamping their feet about a problem they have created themselves.
