It doesn't make sense. The last lawsuit (against Apple and the Big 6) determined that Apple and the Big 6 colluded, but it also stipulated that the publishers were allowed to renegotiate basically the same contract — each on their own, which is what they did. So, even though Apple and the Big 6 (now Big 5) got dinged for collusion, they also ended up with what they wanted all along, agency pricing. I'm not a fan of Amazon, but I'm trying to figure out how they're the culprit in this.
