"Mukesh" @amazon manager just hung up on me on text chat when I told him that I wanted to close my account, after he refused to get me email confirmation of escalation of complaint on display of personal information.
A thread on @amazon and copyright theft:
A thread on @amazon and copyright theft:
It could be that I promised him that I would mail screen-shots of his refusal to Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon.
@CEOemail is excellent for those kind of details.
Instead here is in my opinion a more public issue:

Although @AmazonUK might have lost one customer, and they don't really care.
Here is evidence on a @AmazonKindle store that is also selling pirated / "copied" books.

Here's two examples - see if you can guess the fake?
Not sure that @Adobe or @Peachpit cares, as long as people use the software.
But how about the authors Lisa Fridsma & @Gyncild.
Should they have their copyright stolen, with the help of @amazon?

How about Photoshop Classroom 2020 in a book?
Will Andrew Faulkner & Conrad Chavez be happy with @amazon facilitating this blatant theft?
Yes, as you can see, I purchased the original.
Others did not.
As you can see from the reviews below of the fake version:

Reviews section is interesting, in the context of a @AmazonUK not publishing my review for another fake.
My mistake was to add link for other customers, to the page, from which they could buy the original print, on Amazon.
Q: Is @amazon making money from printing pirated books?

Even @Apress found some of their books "hacked".
What do you choose?
An original book, that will cost you nearly £ 50.00?
Or, the knock off which you can read for free on @AmazonKindle #unlimited subscription trial?

There are plenty more examples to find on Amazon, a company that has the @awscloud A.I. engine to identify the stolen works.
Another way of looking for books "of interest" is to follow the "author" of some of the "copied" works:

I don't understand why @factuk, @CrimestoppersUK, @metpoliceuk (@MetCC) and @FBI is not all over this, as this is not just one or two books, but many.
As often these "soft crimes" is financing something much larger.
I did copy them in on my email reporting this to the publishers.

Amazon has developed the tools that can identify when identical books appear, at least on the Kindle store, by different publishers.
Except they have system in place that does not use it, and customer support, makes it impossible for customers to report the copyright violations.

Has @amazon grown to big to care?
Or, is this blatant support of copyright theft a profit centre for an organisation, Amazon, who themselves spend $ Billions on buying intellectual properties (MGM). That one would expect that they would not want to see pirated?

Don't get me wrong, there some that I really like about @AmazonUK/@AmazonKindle/@PrimeVideo.
But when you have "customer service managers" who don't care, or are not empowered to take action.
Then maybe I'm better off spending money elsewhere, even if more difficult to find.
