While I agree that Amazon owns too much (politicians should be on the map as well), breaking up is not necessarily a good idea. Remember Ma Bell and the Baby Bells?
The imdb used to be a bunch of files on Usenet. A lot of us contributed at the time. Then someone grabbed the lot, stuck it in a database and slapped ads on it.
I’m sorry. I read the wiki and I’m familiar with this event, but have no idea what your talking about. Is the break-up of AT&T the best example of anti-trust being used in the last 50 years? What was the issue?
It seems I pulled the wrong example out of my behind, thanks bad memory. For the life of me, I can’t remember what a clear example was now, I look very silly and should apologise.
Amazon owns too much shit. They should be broken up into 5-6 different companies

The Bells should have been nationalized as all utilities should be, most of what amazon does is not things we need to nationalize (imo)
I strongly disagree. If we don’t nationalize IMDB then how can we possibly have any trust in the integrity and honesty of movie reviews?
Everyone should be entitled to have access to accurate movie ratings.
