Default Discount Travel Sites

My second post tonight...

We all know that sites like Travelocity and Orbitz drag down the industry by basically giving away airline tickets. But how exactly do these sites work? How do they get the authority from the airlines to sell seats on their aircraft?Airline seats and marketing are legally considered proprietary, so the airlines (maybe all the Legacies jointly) could theoretically pull out of these sites and prohibit anyone but themselves to sell tickets.
