If they choose that people who want to sell their books must do so at certain prices then thats up to them! no book store has to buy from them.
instead of legislation how about letting the market actually do its thing! Books especially the sort being discussed here(eg not educational) are not a neccesity like power or food so let the publisher price ridiculusly people wont buy and prices will drop!

That's just ..hmm what pc statement will fit.. intellectually challenged statement I saw in awhile.
You can choose how to sell your stuff however you want, but it is illegal to sell to me and not sell to you - called discrimination. Granted they call it distribution agreements, but still - it's legal, but not ethical.
Plus it boggles my mind how after selling them already, I can see them on Amazon - so they had agreement, they can change the price of the book?
The whole entertainment industry with it's entitlement chip, seems to be existing in some parallel universe.
