$6m is such a small potatoes drop in the bucket for them (Amazon)... Fuck them (Amazon) and everyone who supports them!
The sum doesn't mean anything to Amazon (whether they lose it or gain it), but it probably means a ton to the people they sued.
If they are based out of China, then Amazon won't get a single cent out of them. They will be back up with a new name and website soon.
I certainly hope so!
It probably doesn’t because they are not gonna pay it.
Blue Origin burns 6m in a couple of minutes just in fuel.
Which "them" are you talking about? It sounds like you mean the bootleg sellers, which implies you support Amazon. Mind you, I have no problem supporting the creative types making the content - it's the absurdly large corporations milking customers for all they can that I have difficulty wanting to support.
Sorry, definitely fuck Amazon!
