“I typed in YamzWorld into the Amazon app and lo and behold there were all my products there with my pictures from my website as well,” Montes-Tarazas said. While he receives payment for sales, Montes-Tarazas said the arrangement strips away his ability to build direct customer relationships. “I do get the sale and I do get the money, but customers never get to interact with my website, they have no ability to sign up for my mailing list. They have no idea who I am as an artist or what I stand for,” Montes-Tarazas said.

Could he not put terms of use on his website prohibiting the use by AI agents, and sue Amazon if they don’t comply?
Filing a suit against Amazon… which attorney is going to take that case, and how much money would you need to pay them? 😕

There are about 1.3 million attorneys in the United States in 2026. Find a cross section between that and “consequences? Fuck it” and that’s your group.

There’s likely plenty of people who will happily make good trouble fighting Amazon.
