I publish a book at $27 that you can't find discounted, so you pirate it. I don't get your sale. I'm betting that enough other people will find the book of sufficient value that they will spend $27 to buy it, and that I'll make money on the title.

How is the publisher
not gouging me when they won't let the bookseller give me a coupon for 30% off? The publisher has already got their money, it's the bookseller that will make less, not the publisher. That's what's got me upset - not the list price, but the fact that the publisher won't let the bookseller give me a discount below their stated minimum price. I can't find it discounted because of the publisher, not because of the bookseller.
