Name one major multinational corporation that deals with digital media and IP on a major scale like Amazon does who doesn't do it.
Apple and Google do the same exact thing Amazon does, and in the case of Apple, the accusations of tax avoidance through their Irish "shell" companies are significantly more extreme than what Amazon has been accused of.

You earlier said it was a "gray area of the law." If so, they didn't know.

No, Amazon knew the laws and according to precedent and their own legal counsel they were acting within those laws. It's the British authorities who are seeing "gray" when it comes to Amazon's physical operations in the UK.
