Yes, of course there was resistance--I never said that there wasn't. I just said that it didn't change the way the publishers did business. I absolutely believe that if people don't like what a business is doing or how a product is priced then they should boycott and
let the companies know why they are being boycotted. I was just pointing out to Tubemonkey that his statement

The same consumers who willing paid agency pricing for books.

was absolutely correct, and that the consumers who didn't pay agency prices really didn't effect what the publishers did in any way.
