Based on the details of the suit and the anecdotes here though, it doesn't sound like Amazon actually drops the product. They withhold it from One Click or reduce its listing.

The analogy in a retail setting might be losing your signage or being yanked from a good location.

"Reducing the listing" can potentially mean being pushed to page 23 of search results. In retail, that would be equivalent to never leaving the warehouse, available only upon specific request by a customer.
