The Feds and the euros both think so.
It doesn't matter how hard the BPH apologists try to make this about Amazon, the trustbusters aren't buying that bait and switch. This is one time the "Big Lie"(tm) approach isn't working. The Price Fix isn't about Amazon or competition; it is about raising prices. *Colluding* to raise prices.
They raised prices on consumers to "protect" them from Amazon?
Yeah, right.
That's like destroying a village to "save" the village...
Don't expect the villagers to approve of your oh-so brilliant "Grand stategy".
