Fighting Fakes Was a Big Reason Behind Amazon's Big Vendor Purge

Here's what is sorta amusing about this... nearly every time the topic of counterfeits on Amazon comes up here on HN, somebody posts some variation of "Amazon don't care about this problem", or "they have no incentive to ever fix it", etc.

And yet in the past week or two it appears that they are, indeed, taking rather substantive action to try and address this problem.

Moral of this comment: don't put too much faith in analysis gleaned from anonymous Internet comments? :-)
