@howyoudoin. The last sentence of my post was an observation, not an argument. Even if this were not the case, I see neither logic nor merit in the tainted by similarity argument.
I don't hate middlemen. In many cases they form a very valuable role. What we have with digital rights is a situation where the internet has rendered the role of the local middleman superfluous, but rights-holders still cling to this model. The result is that local consumers are the victims, not the middlemen who buy knowingly and unfortunately still do surprisingly well from the many who don't exercise their rights to buy elsewhere.
@fjtorres. Whist I agree with you about Indies, I think the same applies to tradpubs, at least in relation to ebooks.
