It's confusing to talk about Amazon as if it were a single acting agent. It seems to me as if someone there has just hired some overly enthusiastic lawyers, and top management/PR department hasn't realized how much it's hurting the company

"Some simply like the control, autonomy and culture of a startup." Will people really get the opportunity for that, though? If the idea isn't "theirs" in the sense that it was (more or less) handed to them as something to work on for you, w
