In Anti-trust law, the dominate player (in this case, Amazon) is held to a much tougher standard than the other players. When one claims that an individual author opens himself up to anti-trust suits because of a letter asking the dominate ebook seller to play nice or because he or she files a complaint with the DOJ then one is, IMPO, simply engaging in fantasy. It might make for an amusing post for the like minded, but it has no rational basis in reality.
Yep. And that's why I pointed out that there were companies conspiring against Amazon, but did not actually say they were violating antitrust laws.

I considered writing that post but then realized just how silly it sounded.
