Hmm. That's what I would like too but what would happen about the disparity between 1st and 3rd world economies? If a book cost $9.99 in the US and $3 in, say Togo, either everyone would buy from Togo and the US company would go bust or the price would be worldwide, in which case no-one in Togo would be able to afford it. Sorry, just playing devil's advocate here!!

Multinational corporations have been sourcing labor in just this manner for years. Like the old saw, "what's good enough for the goose should be good enough for the gander..." Togo would bankrupt the US company...
