Amazon is being painted the big monster by the big 6 simply because they were left way behind, once Amazon sensed the wind change and began to innovate with ebooks and prices geared to entice readers. They keep DRM on their product as a security blanket, trying to hold on to narrowed market share while not moving forward with better modern business and distribution models.
Amazon have DRM and closed ecosystem, yes. But they do a hell of a lot of things far better than the Agency 6 ever had and probably ever will.
I liken the agency 6 stance to be sitting around the comforting DRM fire at the back of their cave, terrified of the dark because the imagined monsters of Amazon (Bezosaurus Rex) and piracy (Say Arrr-o-saur) roar and snuffle outside waiting to gobble them all up.
