(I work for Amazon, but not in the retail division. Opinions are mine and not of the company. I&#x27;m also an attorney, but this is not legal advice.)<p>There is a channel in pretty much every company, large or small, for reporting copyright violations and other legal complaints. That channel is the legal department (in the US, the DMCA contact point), not the customer service department. If you want a company to actually take action, you have to get the right people involved.<p>In Amazon&#x27;s case, it&#x27;s right here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;report&#x2F;infringement" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;report&#x2F;infringement</a><p>If you complain to the wrong people, expect a suboptimal response. They&#x27;re not trained to help in these cases, and don&#x27;t always have the authority to short-circuit the bureaucratic process like the legal department does.

Here&#x27;s the product page in question: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Orlco-Paintings-Decoration-Collections-16x16inch&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B07KJ8XJL5" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;Orlco-Paintings-Decoration-Collecti...</a><p>You can clearly see the artist&#x27;s signature cut-off in the bottom left of the image. Here it is on the artist&#x27;s website as well:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tsevis.com&#x2F;editorial-illustration-2016-2017?fbclid=IwAR2fg_-8P7FXh3SOY9sgXGeOS4qOShf57DZLjAXpmA93JXyOcwdN3O2F0Rk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tsevis.com&#x2F;editorial-illustration-2016-2017?fbclid=I...</a>

I&#x27;ve said it several times...but counterfeit items on Amazon is a big big problem. I&#x27;ve gotten counterfeit goods there in the past and just today I almost bought 2 items; saw Amazon had the cheapest price...then I looked at the reviews. It was very clear people were getting counterfeit goods, some with the UPC I was going to buy actually catching fire (I&#x27;ve had several of this brand and I find this difficult to believe happening a couple of times in the same review thread.) So anyhow, I&#x27;m going to Best Buy tomorrow to buy both the things I was going to buy. Amazon is slowly losing my business.

They also allow illegal infringement on sellers. I knew a family that ran an Amazon import business and they bought an entire batch of surplus tennis shoes directly from a company in the primary supply chain of the shoe company. All on the up and up. The shoe company filed a complaint with Amazon that they were not authorized to sell their shoes and Amazon closed down the related listings. That was a serious restraint of trade and Amazon could likely be sued to the moon but they just moved on. I really wish they would have pursued the lawsuit against Amazon.

In 2018, things are truly great for large copyright owners. But for small copyright owners, it sucks.

It&#x27;s pretty much impossible for Amazon to tell whether an item is a licensed use of a copyrighted creative work or not. It&#x27;s perfectly legal to resell work that was legally bought with no additional permission from the creator, for instance. (It is pretty clear from a human analysis here that the seller is infringing copyrights by making prints of digital images found online, but it would be pretty much impossible to create some sort of filter that would block these products from being offered on the platform).<p>From the thread, it looked like the support representatives engaged with the person complaining on Facebook, reported some items had been removed in the past based on takedown requests. That&#x27;s pretty responsive, all in all. Maybe the artist could enlist some additional help discovering and helping him and other affected artists report for takedown the items that this seller is offering so they&#x27;d eventually . Or they could gather some funds and sue Amazon.

Looks like the person violating the copyright just reuploaded under a new ID after the original takedown, which is why the artist is still seeing his work up there.

Everyone at Amazon is supposed to be committed to Amazon&#x27;s Leadership Principles. Each new hire is supposed to learn them and live by them. The very first principle is:<p><i>Customer Obsession: Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers.</i><p>What a joke.

Only tangentially related but type in any product category like say &quot;socks&quot;. Near the top right set Sort By: to &quot;Price High to Low&quot;<p>Result: $14000 pair of socks<p>$9000 tube of toothpaste<p>$3800 package of rubber bands<p>$1000 usb-c cable<p>$45000 water bottle.<p>Curious why Amazon can&#x27;t fix this. It makes them look like they have zero control, zero trustworthiness, a scam site. Note I don&#x27;t normally choose to sort that way but those items with those prices show up in my regular searches quite often

I&#x27;ve had fake headphones (more than once) and fake software. I contacted customer services and they didn&#x27;t even seem to understand why I was trying to point out all the fake products listed on the site. Needless to say, they are all still there and no action was taken.<p>Take a quick search for headphones by &quot;Apple&quot;, I doubt any of these are genuinely Apple: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smile.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;s&#x2F;s&#x2F;ref=sr_nr_p_89_0?fst=as%3Aoff&amp;rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3AApple+EarPods%2Cp_89%3AApple&amp;keywords=Apple+EarPods&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1546083082&amp;rnid=1632651031" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;smile.amazon.co.uk&#x2F;s&#x2F;s&#x2F;ref=sr_nr_p_89_0?fst=as%3Aoff...</a><p>The problem is it&#x27;s more profitable not to care about these problems.

How many people got involved in that conversation? At least 3 different support people. And neither had a direct response to the guy. This corporate jargon is just painful to read and companies like Amazon should know better.

In switzerland (which is outside of amazon&#x27;s prime and shipping area) amazon is nothing else than a super expensive version of AliExpress where everybody tries to hide that they are in fact from China.

Once I ordered a painting and it never arrived. Amazon didn&#x27;t give me back my money as seller claims it was delivered. Seller never responded to an inquiry from my side. Since then I&#x27;m not ordering much from Amazon anymore - there is no customer service and they collaborate with and support thiefs.
