After years of denial and stonewalling, Amazon has admitted for the first time that they have a problem with counterfeit products. This primarily affects the Amazon Marketplace.

As a personal victim of getting counterfeit goods several times from Amazon (and eBay), I thought I'd help spread the word a bit farther. Apparently counterfeit board games is a big thing.

    Amazon does care [about profits] enough to do something.

    And they are doing something.

    They have changed.

    Amazon now has a policy to act as though they genuinely care about counterfitting.
