Which other laws should Amazon be able to ignore?

  Any it can get away with. That's the reality of it. Enforcement is important.

  Trademark it seems.. the Amazon is a place but somehow Jeff Bozos got a trademark.

    This is not an example of Amazon ignoring laws. Apple is a fruit but somehow…

  I'm not bothered that much by companies ignoring rules and laws, i'm just deeply saddened that they don't get severely punished when they get caught (and that they don't get caught more). I mean.. why obey the law, if it's not enforced? And even when they do get punished, they sometimes get fined less, than what they earner/saved by not following the laws. I would turn around from amazon and start pointing fingers at people responsible, (and paid by taxpayers money) for not stopping and punishing/preventing amazon from doing more of such stuff. Fines should be a multiple of maximum theoretical earnings/savings possible + individuals responsible should be put infront of the judge too.

  While I don't agree with him, the use of the downvote/flagging in this whole comment section to silence opposing views is getting out of hand. Please just show him how he's wrong, and leave the comment. There are a ton of assertions in here about the evilness of amazon which offer as little or less than his comment, yet are happily upvoted. When people complain about HN becoming like Reddit, this is what they mean. (yes, I know it's been turning into reddit forever, thanks.
