That's not law. That's a system of economic thievery disguised as law.

It's also anti-competitive. What hope does the little guy with a good idea have of entering this market? Authors and publishers must work through Amazon. Buyer must go through Amazon. Device makers supporting epub (or whatever) are left out in the cold.
Companies are supposed to eliminate competition, that's their job right? At some point our legislation needs to step in and squash it. Instead it seems, more and more, they're in the pockets of the big companies.
