It's been discussed a number of times on HN. The Wall Street Journal even had an article about counterfeits on Amazon a few years ago. There's one at [1] (paywall, naturally).

I'm not sure if it is fraud, but it definitely aided and abetting counterfeiters, and I think it is a travesty that Amazon has not been fined for it. I also actively avoid buying from Amazon partly because of this (and this decision will make no difference; I have no interest in patronizing a company that does this, unless I see some repentance), although there really isn't anyone else for a lot of items.

It is not my job to be the regulator, that is the regulators jobs. I do nopt have the time of capacity in my bipolar affected mind to cram in the detail of this corrupt capitalist world we all let happen.

And I cannot read that article because it is behind a paywall and I am too poor and homless to afford a subscription.

And how many people even come to HN (not just thinking about myself).

And now I have no option but to buy from amazon since I am homeless and do not have a fixed address where I can has stuff shipped to.

All of your point are fine if you are well off and capable, but putting this on me, and people like me, is just wrong.

If you want to organize a boycott against amazon, I will be right there with you. Until then all you have are words.
