As they say 'push the limits' seems to be the Amazon standard business practice. In effect this describes a process where Amazon can survey all products that are sold, identify high volume/margin products, then do an in-house item-by-item assessment and then decide which items to produce and sell themselves. Amazon denies these same abilities to their clients. This would indeed to seem to be a classic case of unfair business practices. Taken to their conclusion, the USA/world would have a single supplier of all to all = extreme monopoly. There seem to be hundreds of discrete cases of this form of abuse. This process will take a few years to evolve and could lead to dramatic changes at Amazon as well as 1000's of lawsuits and class actions, that will enrich generations of lawyers (many as yet unborn!!)
