In response to the recent censorship scandal, the American Booksellers' Association has a response from their lawyers.  (That was fast!)  There are some nuggets of wisdom here.  I hope all of us take every possible opportunity to support (what's left of) the independent booksellers:

ABA Says It "could be illegal for ABA to organize, support or condone an economic boycott of Amazon" After a legal review, the American Booksellers Association offers cautionary legal advice to members, saying that businesses joining together to boycott, or advocate a boycott of, Amazon could be illegal since "antitrust laws forbid combinations or conspiracies in restraint of trade."

They note that "As individuals, you are free to express your opinion about Amazon's activities. And, our country's history is replete with stories of how individuals have combined to effect political and social change.... As an organization, however, we believe that it could be illegal for ABA to organize, support or condone an economic boycott of Amazon. Accordingly, it would be inappropriate for any ABA member to suggest or imply that the ABA holds a position other than this."

But the organization underscores the other informational opportunities: "You can also use this situation as a marketing opportunity to promote the differences and the diversity of ideas available at independent, locally owned businesses compared with large, corporately owned chain retail establishments."
