I'm not sure how you're getting that from the whole context, but *shrug*. Bad writing's bad writing, I guess.

All this seems rather funny, but Tor Books was not amused and (who knew that such a minor publisher had that kind of power?) promptly prevailed on the great and powerful Amazon to remove the parody.
Protecting trade dress has nothing to do with how 'powerful' the people infringing it are. You either enforce it or lose it. "Hah! I managed to get you to notice me! Look at mee!" doesn't make a person powerful.
