Using your own line of reasoning, Apple should be broken up because only Apple is legally controlling the hardware, software, OS, manufacturing and distribution of Apple computers. Its not like the rest of the computers where you have your choice of thousands of motherboards, memory, CPU, video card, OS, software, and so on.
By the way others talk here, Apple should be forced to sell Dell, HP, Compaq, Acer, Lenovo and all the other computer brands, AND be forced to sell Windows, RedHat, and every other OS out there, simply because you think or believe they should simply because some small minority may choose to buy it from them...
Altruism has little place in the retail business.
Amazon is allowed to create their own hardware, software, distribution and choose to sell what they want. It is al about choice, not your desires. If you don't like that they do not sell epub or what you want, you have every right to go to another seller. |
Apple is forced to sell their manuals in English and French to Canada, I assume you're not upset about that? Also, App censor happy Apple is losing marketshare to open Android:
The point should not be whether censorship is right or wrong for Amazon, it should be what's better for business. I'm sure CBS would love to run uncensored HBO shows on their channel.
