Yet if I post a magnet link for a torrent, I'm distributing pirated software.

Make a lot of money and buy a newspaper. It won't be piracy for you after that.

No there is a huge difference. What Jeff Bezos is doing is SELLING pirated non-software. That's highly illegal and punishable, in most places, with jail time.

But man this is an insightful comment. Of course, that's what the outsourcing wave will lead to.

Pirated real products. From toothpaste to electronics. Lower quality ... and even higher quality products.

Man how could I have missed this ?
