> Every open marketplace is always going to list counterfeit goods as a business risk, because it is. On the contrary, Amazon did not list counterfeit goods as a business risk in its 10-K filings prior to 2019.[1] It has been an open marketplace since before 2019. That does seem to imply they only started taking it seriously as a business risk somewhat recently, which could be interpreted as hedging against reputation damage. Otherwise I'm in agreement that there's outsized discussion of the problem on reddit and HN. _________________________ 1. https://ir.aboutamazon.com/sec-filings?field_nir_sec_form_group_target_id%5B%5D=471&field_nir_sec_date_filed_value=2018&items_per_page=10 https://ir.aboutamazon.com/sec-filings?field_nir_sec_form_gr...
