What if there's no publisher and retailer? They don't exist. The world is a big place dude, there aren't retailers and publishers for every region or country just waiting for you to "swindle" them out of their money. In digital world, concept of regions and borders is downright ridiculous.
Hopefully in a decade or two, big business will wake up and smell the coffee.
