Explanation:

The article is "Copyright infringement and the Intellectual Property Complaints on Amazon. It was published on December, 12th 2018.

There has been an increase in the number of complaints about intellectual property violations and the copyright infringement at Amazon Inc. In order to counterfeit each other, sellers copy the features of each other’s products, thereby violating the intellectual property rights. Sellers have been filing complaints against one other at the company.

Amazon has also been trying hard to stop increasing cases of such liability litigations. Amazon has been removing any listing that has probability of copyright infringement. Sellers are also encouraged to take preventive actions when listing their products on the platform.

The adverse effects of copyright infringement on the overall society include:

• Copyright infringement can lower the quality of consumer goods. There will be lesser quality goods rather there'll be more of goods in terms of quantity.

• The overall economy will get impacted as there will be more legal cases. Legal penalties in society will also increase due to Sellers taking each others to court.
