Megacorps arranging retailer's shelves.

I suppose I should be reassured by the fact that there are 9-figure antitrust lawsuits flying about over this practice, but I think that just confirms how broken it is...

N.B. I don't have a problem with a lot of the practices described in that article - they just sound like doing a good job of running a store. It's the idea of a bookstore letting a major supplier like HarperCollins decide what lines of stock they carry that gets to me.
