Amazon Signs Up Authors, Writing Publishers Out of Deal
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/17/technology/amazon-rewrites-the-rules-of-book-publishing.html?_r=1
1) Amazon has begun publishing books and is working to compete with well known publishing companies to buy the attention of authors
2) Publishers, authors, amazon, book readers
3) Intellectual Property is an issue related to the article becaus both Publishing companies and Amazon believe that they have the ownnership to the various books that they should be publishing.
4) Art, entertainment, and leisure
5) I think its interesting to see how much a company can grow. The article will affect me in the future when I start purchasing cheaper alternative books online for college.
6) I foresee an increased number of conflicts that may result in lawsuits against Amazon. As Amazon continues to spread its influence and role in society, there probably will be a higher rate in the number of issues relating to the company.
