Amazon inc is in a Monopsony (a situation where there is a dominate buyer of a product and can therefore dictate terms to their sellers) situation with both Hachette Publishing and The Disney Corporation (to name the latest examples), delaying, discouraging and, at times, preventing the general public from purchasing the products of these suppliers. In a way, Amazon is the Standard Oil of the 21st century and should be investigated due to these practices.
