Journalists have never operated an ecommerce company.

In the same year, they'll publish a story about how requiring manufacturing information enables them to steal secrets from sellers.

You can't have it both ways.

Clearly you have to be a megacorp to get it both ways. Amazon shouldn't be able to evade liability for products sold on their website if they compete against their "sellers" as well.
