My basic intuition would be to trace it back to the nature of man or his self-ownership. A completely different approach would be to clear up what exactly are you trying to attain by a certain proposed "public policy" and then to analyze it and see all the actual effects the policy would have.

I'm not saying you can't disagree with the PG reseller, you may even boycott him or advertise the competition's alternatives to his potential customers, but you didn't justify using violent force against him for what he did or to prevent him from doing it. If he prospers in the long run, he's doing a valuable service to the community. If not, he'll go bankrupt. Either way, no one else would be damaged.
