I'm genuinely curious - can someone explain how Amazon has avoided litigation on this for so long?
Sure, if you me or Joe Doe opens an online store and have 1% of counterfeit problem than Bezos currently has, you would be SWAT-teamed, locked in jail and probably without bail too, with your finances frozen so you barely can afford a lawyer. But that's corporate America. This is business and that's how things work here in grand scheme of things when you become too big to jail/litigate.
