    Almost like Amazon should have some responsibility in properly vetting their sellers. This isn’t the only case of bad quality bootlegs on Amazon. They have no decent incentive to fix it if they are making more money from it. It doesn’t help when the blame is filtered through the smokescreen of ephemeral merchants.

      I agree. I’m not sure whether Amazon should get fines the second a bad seller makes a bad action, but they should definitely have to prove (according to external criteria) that they are making good faith efforts to remove bad actors.
