ok ok.

so, the argument is apparently that amazon is a "marketplace" rather than an online sore.

uhmm. ok.

who thinks that?

amazon is providing a space for people to sell their products. they don't have to do that. and, if the government is going to get in it's face about it, they should just stop doing it.

i firmly doubt that much of anybody interprets amazon as a "marketplace"; most people just think it's a store.
