San Francisco Partner Joseph J. Tabacco, Jr. recently appeared on the PBS blog MediaTwits in a video podcast to discuss Amazon.com’s dominance in e-book sales and how it affects authors, consumers and the entire publishing industry.
The August 22 podcast invited Mr. Tabacco and contributors from the publishing industry to debate whether Amazon has gone too far with its tactics and the implications of its situation. Amazon’s recent actions are showing early indications of crossing the line because “when they can start to dictate the terms of sale, that’s classic monopolistic conduct” according to Mr. Tabacco.
