Yeah, but P&G doesn't offer those prices where they can compete with their First World prices. And publishers may just give up on the $2.99 market because they can't make any money there.

Notwithstanding the various statements in this thread that suggest that publishers are losing money, they seem to be doing quite well despite agency pricing.

All legal protections are artificial. The only natural protection is using a weapon.
