Bwahahahahahaha!!!! I hate it when governments try to level the playing field. That usually means they are trying to show favoritism to certain companies while preventing other companies from creating lower priced goods. I don't like it when their so-called fair marketplace means consumers get screwed by having to pay more. I'm truly sorry to see the likes of Walmart and Amazon drive Mom and Pop shops out of business, but I never bought from Mom and Pop shops because they wanted twice as much as Walmart and Amazon. Mom and Pops simply cannot compete against big chain stores, so they become extinct. It is bad for Mom and Pops but good for consumers. So in this case, way to go Amazon for giving a huge middle finger to a French law that makes French consumers pay more for books. I have no doubt that this was anything more than France trying to show favoritism to French stores.
