But at one point, they did sell that Sailor Moon bootleg (as in, not on the marketplace and sold directly from Amazon) which was really un-proffesional of them.
They're shipping a Digimon bootleg. Not quite as bad as actually selling it themselves, but you'd think they'd do some legal control on things they put in their warehouses.

There are many people on Amazon who are selling their old, legitimate products, but unfortunately, there are others who sell bootlegs (knowingly or not). However, this is marketplace, which means the company, Amazon themselves aren't selling the bootlegs.


And they can't not know that this goes on. I think they have partial responsibility, as the third party moderating transactions.


I wonder if a DMCA takedown applies to Amazon's listings? I've heard in the past that eBay's VeRO program had a few......litigious members, including the Estate of Selena and some lesser known Folk Rock singer's mother. They would actually get many auctions shut down on eBay even if they have little to no remote connection to the copyright (i.e. the white rose Selena is associated with).
