The answer is not simple, though. On the one hand, if they sell their products (books or vegetables) to someone else (a publisher or whatever), they sell it and they should not expect to have any particular control on it. On the other hand, it is only sensible that they get angry if something outrageous is done with their products.

I honestly don't see why, I'm afraid. All that should concern an author is being able to fix a WHOLESALE price. What the retailer subsequently chooses to sell the product for is absolutely no concern of the author. The author has been paid his fixed wholesale price, and that's all that should concern him.
