Neither is Amazon. Aliexpress, Walmart, Newegg are direct competitors selling cheap crap.

Then there is Target/Home Depot/Lowes/Staples/Costco/Best Buy/etc

Doesn't Amazon prevent you from selling on other stores for a lesser price? I always thought that was a galling scam and couldn't understand why it was even allowed at all.

> Neither is Amazon

The lawsuit that is the subject here details Amazon's durable monopoly power in two markets.

But, yes, if Amazon did not have a monopoly, it could not, obviously, be illegally maintaining a monopoly.
