Nope. Because these laws also protect people who make such websites from the corporations they're commenting on, too. The respect must be mutual, else e.g. OSS has no basis for legal protection, either.

Being concerned for the proper respect of IP laws is something that benefits everyone.

You make more friends defending humans from big companies than you do defending big companies from humans.

Your argument would have a small amount of merit if you acknowledged that the laws DO NOT protect people like they do corporations. That is a hollow ideal, not reality.

I don't really see your point. My original comment was more pointing out that the operators, if not Amazon, could be seen as infringing their rights. They should update their legalese if they want to be truly protected. How is that defending Amazon?

Regardless of your pointed comment, I'm operating in the land of legal objectivity. The law doesn't care about your feelings much.

Your argument is that IP law should be equally observed by everyone because it protects individuals and corporations alike:

> Nope. Because these laws also protect people who make such websites from the corporations they're commenting on, too.

My response is that your assumption is very obviously wrong: the law does not protect individuals and corporations alike.

That’s all.
