Well, same as all the other big IT giants.
They all moved a lot faster than society and government, know when they must dish out lobbying money (and have enough to do so) and give more people what they want at the expense of fewer people.
It's coming to an end though. The boomers that don't understand the current state of the world anymore are moving out finally.
The next 10 years will be filled by the tears of abusive companies that don't understand why they are suddenly required to follow rules they didn't make themselves.

Further, these are problems that we've seen in other avenues like QVC and open marketplaces. And the solution is dead simple, hold amazon liable for their part in distributing stolen and fake products. Stop accepting this namby pamby "Oh shucks, we sure are trying our darnest but those scammers are just cleaver with their 9000 listings of the same product under different names, all conspicuously with the same sell address/accounts." The reason we have this problem is because it's more profitable for Amazon to sell fake goods then it is for them to increase consumer confidence that they are getting genuine products. The reason lawmakers aren't cracking down is because nobody is lobbying for them to crack down (And I'm sure amazon/google/etc are lobbying for the opposite because it's just too darned expensive to make sure people aren't scamming)
