Richard Stallman's personal site. For current political commentary, see the daily political notes. If you want to order a book (or something else), don't buy it from Amazon. Amazon harms its customers, as well as workers, the national treasury, and many others that it affects. Here's a good (though long) overview of why Amazon's overall activity is harmful to society overall. This page lists alternatives to Amazon for buying various kinds of products. Some of these sites may share some of Amazon's unethical practices. I am pretty sure that any site selling MP3 files on the internet imposes an EULA - an inexcusable wrong. Streaming sites, too. And all of them identify the purchaser. It is better to buy from a store, and pay cash. Or else get a copy through sharing. For a book, order it directly from the publisher or through a local book store. If you want to use a URL to refer to a book, please don't use an Amazon page.


Here are specific reasons - plenty of them. Amazon is so close to being a monopoly for internet Sales (feelingcutelol.com) by most companies that it can gouge them. It drives many of them into bankruptcy. If you do internet purchases, making a point of not buying through Amazon is a way you can personally push back. Amazon biases its searches to favor vendors that use Amazon for their shipping. If this isn't illegal, it ought to be. We should not allow a store as big as Amazon to have anything to do with order fulfillment, for its own sales or anyone else's. Amazon has so much power over the US retail economy that it imposes its power over all participants. If it is going to be a monopoly, it should be regulated like other monopolies. Amazon has so much market share that its sheer size distorts the market.
