Notice I linked to that above. Which part of it prohibits linking to images, or reselling items? Linking to a long document and claiming it says something isn't helpful. Excerpt the parts you think support your claim.
Read "LICENSE AND ACCESS" and the rest of it too. Is there a particular reason why you adopted Vlad's strategy of posting without reading? Is there a particular reason why you expect me to do your homework?
I read through most of the document, and saw that it doesn't clearly prohibit what coinstand is doing. (It depends, as I said above, on whether images count as software, which seems unlikely).
You made a claim that what they are doing violates the TOS. The burden of proof is on you, so don't try to get out of that by just telling me to read a document that doesn't actually support you.
Oh dear, full on dipshit mode now, huh? And I used to think you have a valuable opinion
It is YOU who is making claims here, not me. Where did I make that claim that you're ascribing to me here? I specifically mentioned affiliate program and advertising API, and you're now making a claim that GAW is not using those, while common sense suggests otherwise. Do you have anything to support YOUR claim, let's start with how would you create and update a catalog like that MANUALLY?
If there isn't evidence whether or not they are using the affiliate program, then it seems quite premature to say that coinstand is definitely violating terms of the affiliate program. My claim all along was that reselling regularly didn't appear to violate the regular tos. I'm no longer so sure about that; as I said above it appears a little ambiguous.
I never said that it doesn't violate the affiliate terms, just that those terms don't necessarily apply.
"Where did I make that claim that you're ascribing to me here?" You linked directly to the regular terms.
The other fallacy you seem to be propagating here is that this is somehow about whether Amazon would want to sue GAW. They don't need to. They can just terminate their account for violating TOS. Deciding to not do business with someone is not against the law, unless there is some kind of contract in place. Is there?
Then that all depends on whether they violate the tos or not. I was mentioning the legal aspect because other people claimed that it was illegal under the dmca, to which I replied that even if that was the case, they would need to sue. If it was against the terms (which I'm no longer so sure about), they could shut the account.
