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.

I don’t worry about piracy, I worry about publishers. Consider the multiply-bestselling writer Steven Pressfield now owns his own publishing company, Black Irish Books, in partnership with his editor at their former publishing company.
Since living in the pacific north left I’ve met many who simply do not want computers or the web to be a part of their lives. Not one of them cited money or lack of computer skills as their reasons. One was a Clark County Custody Division Deputy who uses computers all day long but never when he’s off work.
Others prefer ebooks; one of my very best friends has never read one word of mine because I don’t have any audiobook editions.
For these two reasons I will crowdfund a press run of my collected essays on mental illness.
That will be at GoFundMe because I’ll give every last one of those books free as in beer to First Responders.
In the front of the book I’ll solicit donations to give away even more books to them.
My second book I’m keeping a lid on as it will be a for - hopefully - profit technical book. That one I expect to sell like hot cakes; my technical articles have always been exceedingly popular.
