I wonder how tested in the court is this theory? Is it established precedent? Because as a consumer, I'm shopping on Amazon.com and I pay Amazon.com and I receive goods from Amazon.com. Maybe they're legally sound, but it sure looks like I'm transacting with Amazon.com and not some third-party seller most of the time.
