r_schestowitz                    <p>Within a year, Amazon was generating more money from what Elastic had built than the start-up, by making it easy for people to use the tool with its other offerings. So Elastic added premium features last year and limited what companies like Amazon could do with them. Amazon duplicated many of those features anyway and provided them free. In September, Elastic fired back. It sued Amazon in federal court in Dec 20 08:58
r_schestowitzCalifornia for violating its trademark because Amazon had called its product by the exact same name: Elasticsearch. Amazon “misleads consumers,” the start-up said in its complaint. Amazon denied it had done anything wrong. The case is pending. Not since the mid-1990s, when Microsoft dominated the personal computer industry with Windows, has a technology platform instilled such fear in competitors as Amazon is now doing with its Dec 20 08:58
r_schestowitzcloud computing arm. Its feud with Elastic illustrates how it brandishes power in that technical world. While cloud computing may appear obscure and geeky, it underlies much of the internet. It has grown into one of the technology industry’s largest and most lucrative businesses, offering computing power and software to companies. And Amazon is its single-biggest provider. </p>Dec 20 08:58
r_schestowitz                    <p> Amazon has used its cloud computing arm — called Amazon Web Services, or A.W.S. for short — to copy and integrate software that other tech companies pioneered. It has given an edge to its own services by making them more convenient to use, burying rival offerings and bundling discounts to make its products less expensive. The moves drive customers toward Amazon while those responsible for the software may not Dec 20 08:58

r_schestowitz" to be fair, you can get fired for a lot less too since at least in the USA, most states are 'at will' and businesses can fire for nearly any reason at nearly any time.
