If the publishers decide to not allow you to resell you can not go direct to the author and get the books so it's your statement that is not correct.

There isn't "loads" of evidence of collusion and the "evidence" that was presented is equally open to the interpretation of no collusion when looked at objectively.

There is a lot of evidence that the publishers are colluding. Contract terms that I would consider abusive to the authors are consistent across all and unless you're a huge name, can not be negotiated. Author compensation that is the same and change at the same time. That's all beyond the substantial evidence the DoJ submitted to the court.
