Is it affecting their business? Are people canceling Prime accounts? Are revenues down?

"Is it affecting their business" Yeah I would say it is fraudulently helping their business.

"Are people canceling Prime accounts?" Multiple people in this thread have said they had

"Are revenues down?" Is that the driving factor of whether a business practice is moral/legal ?

> "Are people canceling Prime accounts?" Multiple people in this thread have said they had

Why are these anecdotes worth so much when other all available evidence (revenues, etc.) is to the contrary.

I am still not at all following why revenue is a key indicator of whether or not something is right

The reason you are not following that is because I never said it was and nobody except for you was asking whether something was “right.”

The original discussion was about whether:

> [product counterfeiting] is a major problem for amazon

I personally agree with rdlecler1's comment. "At some point someone will die from something that is counterfeit and Bezos will be in DC like Zuckerberg is today. Why they’re not being more proactive is beyond me."

Did you mean to post this as a reply to a different comment? I don’t see how it connects with anything I’ve said.

Do you not agree that Bezos being called to the stand for selling huge numbers of counterfeit goods would be "a major problem for Amazon" ? I thought that's what we were talking about...

You can see it in this thread: people who won't buy stuff and people who have canceled their Prime account. It's the type of cancer that isn't noticed until it's too widespread to ignore.

Well, I'm pretty sure their revenues are up but at the same time is that how you want to make your money?

It’s not my money but it’s pretty clear by Amazons behavior that they are fine with it.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
