Having just completed a successful email campaign to make the Washington state Attorney General aware of possible antitrust violations by Amazon.com, www.AmazonTroopSurge.com has turned its attention to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) April 11, 2008 -- www.AmazonTroopSurge.com has completed a successful email campaign to make the Washington state Attorney General aware of what may be violations of antitrust provisions. Hundreds of people used the blog to send a message to the Attorney General regarding Amazon's activities. In a response, the Attorney General stated that it had made Amazon.com aware of the complaints and is awaiting a response. The blog has launched a new campaign targeting the Department of Justice in Washington D.C.
The blog features a form that readers can use to quickly and easily send an email to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice. The complete contact information for the office is also provided for those who wish to create their own correspondence.
The goal of the campaign is to increase the pressure on Amazon.com to change what the blog's founders believe to be anti-competitive practices. Amazon recently announced that print-on-demand ("POD") authors (independent authors who have their books printed and shipped on a per-order basis) will now have to have their books printed with Amazon's own Booksurge printing service.
Although authors are free to sell their books elsewhere with other POD services, Amazon controls such a large portion of the sales of print-on-demand books that it will in a single move capture a major share of the market for the printing of those books. It may become difficult for some POD companies to survive without having their books sold through Amazon.
