Amazon in compromise over German court case
Article Abstract:
Amazon.com's German subsidiary, amazon.de., has reached a compromise with a German association of mail order book sellers following a lawsuit which charged that amazon.de had engaged in false banner advertising. The suit claimed that surfers who wanted to look at a specific category were brought to amazon.de's Web site, where they were told that they could order books on a similar subject, even though the surfers were looking for a specific topic and not books about the topic.
