Indigo Pulls The Plug On Amazon Suit

Indigo Books & Music, the publishing giant that has been bankrolling the Canadian industry’s lawsuit against the Amazon.ca, has abruptly pulled the plug on the suit, withdrawing its support and cutting off funding. Industry officials say that they simply cannot afford to continue the legal battle against Amazon, which is being allowed to operate its site without complying with rules governing foreign-owned bookstores, because it has no ground-based Canadian presence.
