Amazon been in HN recently and I follow many links, learnt alot of interesting things about Mr.Bezos.
To be honest, his picture now comes more like a 21st century version of Don Corleone. Sure Bezoz didnt kill anyone but I bet Don would love to know the key to his success which in case of Amazon seems to be very simple recipie:
- setup website making sure everything goes legal.
- grow big and fast. Hire enough people to cover 80% of your HQ town's business district
- because now you hire 40,000 people in one city, those people have voting power. Congratulation! You become too big to jail
- at this stage, fuck legality. Allow counterfits in an open unmonitored market.
- wait for lawsuit that will come. Those Chineese knockoffs of corridor night-lights? Yeah they dont have any certification and thats why your house burned down when you were vacationing with family.
- sue Bezos but make sure you know the law, at least in Seattle (40,000 workers) where judges seems to agree that he only provides platform to sell and is not responsible for content. Know that many people are rotting in jail for similar behavior, including Sill Road website owner who never dealt drugs on his own but just provide platform to do so (although arguebly he was behaving much darker than that) to any torrent or music website ever existed and died on internet.
- basically at this point with such huge workforce in Seattle and owning a mouth piece to say anything he wants via Washington post, this guy is a hard core mobster, breaking rules he knows he can break and wreacking billions in process. Please - until you hire few thausands in your city, do not attempt to try what he does - you will spent lifetime in jail for counterfitting.
