I bought a baby product off amazon. I noticed a few weird things about my product, so I emailed the inventor. They told me that some Chinese company had stolen their product design and was seeling fakes with the same name on amazon.&lt;p&gt;I refuse anything from amazon for my baby.

I&amp;#x27;m surprised Amazon has no system to detect this kind of gross plagiarism.  Remember Google&amp;#x27;s digitize all books project?  This would be a useful use-case for it.</text></comment>
