The cut-n-run strategy taken by Amazon can only last so long, unless they decide to just end their U.S. affiliate program.

If you use gov't subsidized copper or fiber to make some dough-ray-me, the gov't is going to use that cable to give you a dollaroscopy, one way or the other.

Kind of sucks that Amazon just throws their affiliates into the thresher that way, just to make a point.
