Amazon Bullies Local Awards Site

Local book awards site Amazonclicks.com is being bullied by the giant Amazon group into giving up it's name. A spokesperson for AmazonClicks told me today they had threatened to take the site, which supports aspiring authors, off their Associates program, he went on,

"We won't be bullied and the more they try the more we will fight back. It's our domain name!

AmazonClicks.com carries very clear disclaimers stating the precise relationship with Amazon on every page of the website, Amazon.co.uk approved the name and have worked with the site n their own Associates program for many months accepting hundreds of new customers and taking orders via the site."

A number of other alleged unethical practices are claimed and there is even talk of a class action law suit being filed on behalf of a large number of authors.
