Well, they certainly managed it in the case of agency pricing. For authors to buy or create a Klausner review, wouldn't the knowledge of how to go about it have to be widely disseminated rather than being the deep, dark secret that it is now? Seems like the only other parties that could benefit would be the publishers. Unless it's Amazon themselves, but there are Klausner reviews on other sites too, negating that idea. And if someone were doing it in order to entirely stock a bookstore with review copies, I don't think they'd have any time left to sell them.
