Wow. Given the number of items they ship in a day, a million-dollar fine every mistake could turn out to be a lot of money. I'd shut down, too.

EDIT: I read elsewhere that it was a million euros per day, not per infraction. Much more reasonable.

Interesting that the BBC says the fine is €1M per day while Amazon says it is €1M per infraction. Which is it?

From what I understood it's both :)

I thought the court had ordered them to cease delivering non-essentials, but left the decision of whether to continue shipping essentials or to close altogether up to Amazon.
