Previously you said we had different ideas about what constitutes fair. Now you are saying fairness doesn't apply.

Publishing is very far from being a monopoly. Anyone can do it.

Mmmmm so I can buy a Terry Brooks ebook I want, from more than one publisher can I?
If there is only one of something, and the provider has total control, it seems like a monopoly to me.
I seem to recall discussions by you and Barry and others in other topics about such a monopoly. But maybe I am remembering it wrong? I've made mistakes before. I am only human after all.
