Oh hello, gentle readers. Do you run an Etsy store? Have you ever sold A Thing on Ebay and taken a picture of it against a white backdrop? Are you a professional photographer? Well, shut that down, son, because Amazon owns the patent on the ubiquitous object-against-white-screen photo that is a staple of product photography everywhere.
I can see it now - attorneys holding up color swatches in court to compare them to Exhibit A. "As your honor can plainly see, this is more of a Cottage White than a pure Eggshell White..."
Amazon has patented a photographic technique that pre-dates Amazon? How does THAT work?
Amazon! Where's my damned drone-delivery pizza?
I don't know but they look tasty.
Polar Bear poachers?
Did anyone consider the Prior Art?

fuck off amazon. i already sold that scarlett o'hara madame alexander doll i took that picture of in 2003.
Sunday is mother's Day, and i plan to celebrate by using my mother to violate Amazon's patent, because Freedom! Suck it, bitches!
