What is the highlight of human civilization?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's the best time you've ever had. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cupper, a mugger, a glass, a tanker, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine. It makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Oh, so good. Well, I'm a little bit on the warpath today against Amazon.com because I opened up and found out that they have more counterfeit fake products of mine than they have real ones. That's right.
What problems is Scott Adams facing with Amazon?
If you're looking for the Dilbert calendar, you'll see a wall of fake calendars that Amazon is selling, and somebody's keeping the money for it. Now, you might say, that seems like a unique problem to you, Scott. No, this is a problem that all independent booksellers have if they're using Amazon's process. What happens is the process for reporting it is that I have to have a copy of the offending product. That's right. In order to report it, I have to buy it. I have to wait for it to arrive. I have to examine it, take photographs of it. And then, only then can I submit to Amazon and say, can you remove this? In the time it takes me to do that, there will be three new sites offering three new of the same products. So there is no mechanism for anybody to do anything about this. I've decided that it's time for a lawsuit, class action, because it affects a lot of people. And it's obvious that Amazon does not care about the people who are involved in this because it looks like it'd be easy to solve.
It looks like it'd be easy to solve, honestly. They got AI, they got a lot of people. So Jeff Bezos, I don't want to sue Amazon. Like I said, it's literally the last thing in the whole world I want to do. But you don't have a system That gives me another path. I'm not going to let you steal my material over and over and over again because Amazon's making money from this. You're making money from my intellectual property. This has to stop. So I'm going to see if I can get together a class action lawsuit. I'd rather be part of it than leading it. But if there's a lawyer out there that wants to make some serious money, I suspect that the entire class is probably $100 million probably $100 million in revenue that's being affected by just the counterfeits that probably they could stop. Now, what would it take to improve the system? Easy. All it would take is the person who's identified as definitely the author of the product to write a memo and say, here's a screenshot. Here's the link to the offending product. Here's my identifier that says I'm the real author.
It'd be good if I had some kind of identifier. And then they say, oh, I've identified you as the real lawyer. If you say this is yours, it's between you and the other person, but we'll take you off the site. They need to take him off the site. That needs to be the default. We cannot go on like this. Jeff Bezos, if you're listening to me, all I want is a solution. I don't want a lawsuit, but I'm definitely fucking... I don't want to break my New Year's resolution that easily. I want to see if I can go at least a day. I'm definitely going to see if I can organize a class action. And it's going to be big, and I'm going to make as much noise as I possibly can. But I just want a solution. I don't want to do any of that. It's just I'm pushed into a corner.
You wouldn't let somebody rob you over and over and over again without doing something. I kind of let it go because I thought Amazon would fake her down on their own. But it's just getting worse. It's just a page of fake Dilbert calendars and fake books. So you got to fix that. On other news, maybe a stuff that's less about me and more about you. Well, according to Blaze Media, the FAA has expanded their their ban on drones over New Jersey. Four reasons that Blaze Media and Leon Wolf say are unclear. Now, what would be all the potential reasons that they would increase their ban on drones over New Jersey? And just New Jersey, not other places, but just New Jersey? Maybe there are other places we don't know about. So here's what I think.
