NO!

The market situation is a very, very important part of... a different case altogether. The case where Amazon is brought to court for antitrust violations in regards to unfairly dominating the ebook market.

That is where you may discuss whether or not something may or should be done about Amazon.

Regarding Apple -- they cannot absolve themselves of an illegal act by saying someone else did an illegal act first.
That is taking the law into their own hands, something the law frowns upon -- and rightly so.
What about Google? Google matches Amazon's prices. So Amazon is not alone in the prices they charge for eBooks as Google prices the same (usually). So if you take Amazon to court, you also have to take Google as well.
