Wow. $9 billion! Imagine having that sort of spare cash available I cannot decide if I think Amazon taking over would be a good thing or not. Look what Disney done to Star Wars. Will the same happen to Bond?

That is a crazy amount of money!

Big tech wants to rule the world, they bought the television rights for The Lord of the Rings for US$250 million in November 2017...

You are right. Amazon and Google will soon rule the world

They pretty much do already, most of us use Google to find things and I would imagine Amazon to purchase majority of items.

This is a couple of year old now, but I read this:

QUOTE Almost 90% of UK shoppers use Amazon and 40% have access to its Prime subscription service, according to research that lays bare the challenge for high street retailers[/quote]

I also heard recently that something like 70% of online shopping in the UK is done on Amazon.
