You totally got it all wrong. Apple and the price fix 6 thought that when the price differences between Amazon and all other eBook shop was equalized, that customers would shop at other stores. That didn't happen. That just kept Kindle owners shopping at Amazon.
When Fictionwise was in full swing before agency, there were lots of threads about Fictionwise. Lots of MR users shopped there. I know I did.
Apple's entry into the eBook market would not have cause these little shops to fold if if wasn't for agency. Agency caused the little stores to have to stop the discounts, sales, rewards, buyers clubs and so forth.
What was meant to hurt Amazon helped Amazon. It hurt the little guys instead of Amazon. It backfired big time and Apple and the price fix 6 should be punished for causing good stores to go under.
I'm sorry you are blind to the facts. The facts are, that these store were competitive with Amazon and people shopped there. After they stopped being competitive (BECAUSE OF AGENCY), people had no reason to go there so they shopped elsewhere.
How can you not get it? How can you see things that don't exist? You remind me of the conspiracy theorists who think the moon landing was fake and that 9/11 was masterminded by the US government.
