I think that sums it up pretty nicely. There can be a ton of different issues though, like the example meeera has just pointed out. There can be people who won't buy from Amazon because of their tax record in the UK, but they'll buy from other places who do similar tax avoidance acts, but maybe just not as big as scale or as apparent. (Or maybe tax avoidance on any scale brings up a whole other argument).
