I wish I knew what all of you did. I get that you disagree with everyone's policies and think that exceptions should be made for you, but the long and short is that if you ran an auto shop, you would be unhappy with customers bringing in their own stuff. You would be unhappy if you owned a theatre, and I am sure that you would be unhappy in your current setting if someone tried to undercut your pricing by supplying, to whatever degree, their own supplies to undercut you and minimize your profits/ make you break even. No one owes you anything, that is for sure, and as long as you continue to believe that everyone should be giving away their services at a pittance, you will continue to be unhappy. Honestly, your _itching about this reminds me of my students who get upset about getting "ripped off" because the discount we get at the local parts store is only 40% and they know someone who gets it cheaper.
