It is an interesting legal question. In general, actions by a company that holds what is considered a monopoly position in a market is held to a different standard than a company that doesn't hold a monopoly position. I don't think there is any doubt that Amazon hold a near monopoly position in the book market. Frankly, as the article hinted, a lot of it comes down to if the prosecutor is interested in pursuing the matter or not.
