I fear that these praises of Amazon posted here might have unforeseen consequences in the future. All users should take warning from Aesop and re-read the fable 'Killing the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs'.

That(taxation) is changing, has changed.
And it's not just Amazon, it's the tax laws/all internet companies.
