SELaplana >> Internet >> A Confusing Move of Amazon: Promoting Web Services but Sue It’s User

Pete Cashmore is calling all Alexa Toolbar users to uninstall Alexa toolbars as a way of opposing the lawsuit filed by Amazon against Statsoholic, formerly Alexaholic, for using the Alexa API in displaying the stats in such a useful way. This action of Amazon made everyone confused on what really Amazon want us to do as they promotes their web services particularly the Amazon S3. Pete calls this a b@l$hit, just like what Andy wonders:

Why would anyone want to use Amazon’s S3 hosting services when the company bullys a start-up that is merely providing a mash-up of Alexa?

So, what really is the reason why Amazon file this kind of lawsuit, when in fact the Alexaholic name has been changed to Statsoholic because the first name contains Amazon trademark. It’s also the point of TechDirt:

While the trademark issue was sort of understandable (though, even that could be challenged), once the site changes its name to Statsaholic, it seems like Amazon shouldn’t have any problems with the site.

Well, it’s not just confusing but really very disappointing to hear about the news.
