Fusen is right. This add-on does not take from Amazon.com but from Pirate Bay. All this thing does is allow you to pretty much search for the item [the torrent] with Amazon instead of Pirate Bay.
So in other words, Amazon loses nothing from this! So come on! All you people who use a torrent to get certain things are doing the same thing as the people who are using this add-on. So just please be quiet about how this is wrong but torrenting is right. THEY ARE THE SAME THING!

Since most writers can’t make a living writing (even most new york published authors) seriously consider what your theft is doing to people.

You aren’t robin hood, redistributing wealth. You aren’t taking from the rich and giving to the poor. You’re taking from already struggling writers, and insisting that they work as slaves.

We deserve better.

[...] Firefox Pirates Take Over Amazon | TorrentFreak Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, is under attack by online pirates. An add-on for the Firefox browser called ‘Pirates of the Amazon’ makes it possible to shop at the Amazon store but leave without paying a dime. Instead, on Amazon product pages the add-on integrates links to ‘free’ copies on The Pirate Bay.

[...] The plugin imbeds a button right into the web page virtually providing one click get at to a presumably illegal copy. It does work with CDs, DVDs, games, and books. The website for the extension is presently offline, most probable due to a crushing number of traffic from all the publicity. This isn’t the first plugin to join your web browser to BitTorent files only it is the first one to join the biggest online retailer, Amazon, and the biggest BitTorent tracker, Pirate Bay. The masses behind the extension explicate their principle and take no affiliation with Pirate Bay, “we’re not affiliated with The Pirate Bay, and do not host or even hyperlink to any illegal content.

quite useless article, since you did write things we dont need and didnt write those we need, e.g.:

The site was taken down, if you dont know yet:

“One day after publishing we received a take down request by the legal department of Amazon.com”

this is fucking stupid and the add-on is just few script that any newbie can write (ANY! Even non tecchie one, after readong few javascript pages).

The reason why nobody wrote that till now is maybe because nobody wants to destroy the market as these idiots are trying to do.

I often BUY things at Amazon, because if somebody does a good job I want to PAY him for his work. I don’t steal his job! When I publish my stuff, I get sick of people that download it illegally because they can’t afford few dollars that let me pay rent and publish other stuff.

If you like something, then buy it. Otherwise you won’t get any second version.

And if you don’t buy it and you will get a second version, this is because some honest guy in the world paid double price for you, asshole!

This is definitely not OK. Remember you receive back from the Universe just as much as you give. The less you give the poorer you will become. Honest hard working artists and performers deserve to be paid fairly for their efforts. Before you rip someone off ask yourself how would you feel if somebody did this to you.

Why do people feel the need to do this? Somebody, somewhere is having money that they earned taken out of their pockets because of this. And I’m not talking about executives, actors, rock stars or “fatcat” businessmen – I’m talking the guys who man the sound booths, hold the cameras and animate the 3d models.

There’s no such thing as a free download – it always comes at the expense of lost custom.
