Back to the original post, I'm interested in any lawyers thoughts on this entire "Agency Model" approach. It seems to me that it is just another version of price fixing. I think that years ago, the famous case of price fixing was about refineries trying to set prices fro gas stations. How is this different?
Please note, I know tone doesn't come through in a post, I mean that as a legitimate question, and not as a complaint. I really don't understand everything in this arena and I wonder how this is different.
I also wonder if it makes a difference that they are not selling printed books using an 'agency model' but they are selling ebooks this way. It really seems like restraint of competition to me, but that's why I need a lawyer's insight.
