"And let me tell you: of all the surprises I’ve had over the past week or so, most surprising of all has been the FBI. They responded immediately, with follow-up phone calls and emails, an in-person interview with two special agents at my own home within 24 hours, and a follow-up visit from two agents yesterday. Beyond that, each and every agent I have interacted with over the past week has been, without fail, compassionate, thoughtful, invested, respectful, and committed to action…in addition to treating me not like a case number, but like a human."

It's worth noting how we only ever hear about when these entities are up to no good; I wish it were not 'surprising' when we find the gov. is doing great job, I'd hope that this is usually the case.

Well - if it said 'counterfeit' then they would be in legal trouble. So at very least, they 'changed it' for that legal reason.

It's possibly 'they may care' but are overwhelmed, and just ignore the little stuff, or can't reasonably hunt down every entity.

It's also possible that they don't care, and will only clam down on it enough to stay out of jail.

It's also possible they do care, and they make money from it.

For direct sales though - this is a problem. If it's some 3rd party - that's one thing - but from their inventory? Bad. Very bad.

"There's no way to report a counterfeit on Amazon unless you're claiming a violation of your own IP rights"

I feel this is problematic - one would think that AMZN would want to at least have a 'heads up' with respect to these issues very quickly to look into them, you know, to protect their brand?

Because if Amazon is selling you 'XYZ' and it's a knock-off - they are part of the crime.

Rather odd.
