Bastards of the Amazon

Amazon, you bastards!

You suspend the crowd funding at unglue.it (click link for story) and you killed lendink.com (click link for story). Are you satisfied with yourself you bastards? You think this is how the story will end? You rolling around the floor drunk, naked, a mouth full of cheezburger while pointing at the screen laughing as you screw with perfectly reasonable people making perfectly reasonable sites?

Hasselhoff at this best....

This is you Amazon but David is still cooler.

Amazon, you bastards!

Both unglue.it and lendink.com are legitimate sites, both are alternatives to ebook piracy, both made sure authors got what they should. But this is just a game to you.

Amazon, you bastards!

The good news is that unglue.it will find another way to crowd source funding and because they are cool and groovy they will be supported by the happy love of the internet. They may even start taking bitcoin, which would be awesome for complicated reasons I cannot get into here.

Amazon, you bastards!

But you care very little about being fair, you care more about the power of money and control.

Amazon, you swine!

What story are you building?

Amazon, you fools!

How about a corporation

that likes to look you in the

face as you read?

Amazon, you greedy beasts!

Amazon, you nerfherder!

The truth is, if you don't make it reasonable for people to get books, have privacy, sell books and share books you will be screwed. You'll take yourselves out.

We'll watch.
