A German minister on Wednesday threw her weight behind the authors battling US online retail giant Amazon over its alleged strong-arm negotiating tactics with publishers. "Market power and domination over central distribution channels should not endanger our cultural diversity," said state minister for culture and media Monika Gruetters. Her statement "welcomes and supports" a campaign by authors, some of whom have been caught in the cross-fire as Amazon re-negotiates its deals with publishers. German-language authors have accused Amazon of delaying the release of books and boycotting authors signed to publishing houses in dispute with the US company.
