Publishers shouldn't get to decide anything but whether they sell to retailers, when they sell to retailers, and for how much they sell to retailers. What retailers do with it afterward should be out of their hands.

I can't imagine any other industry that would even dare to set the price beyond the initial sale to a retailer. I'm truly unaware of any analog, but willing to be surprised.
