    Amazon didn’t steal it. The author chose to sell it on the platform. The terms are very clear before engaging in the contract.

    Also IP isn’t the problem here. IP doesn’t make Amazon act shitty. Amazon makes Amazon act shitty.

      No. If there is no IP protection, Amazon will just be able to take people’s work.

        They don’t take people’s work. People give their work to them to sell it. You read too many conspiracy theories.

        If there is no IP, the authors won’t be able to sell their books AT ALL. Which is certainly worse than Amazon taking most of their revenue share.
