需要說(shuō)明的是，這封郵件和之前關(guān)于侵權(quán)的通知郵件有較大的區(qū)別，在之前亞馬遜系統(tǒng)關(guān)于侵權(quán)的通知郵件中，要么是告知你Listing被移除，要么是告訴你賬號(hào)受限，同時(shí)提醒你如果能夠和權(quán)利人達(dá)成一致，Listing可以恢復(fù)，賬號(hào)可以解限，但這封郵件里，直接涉及到的是關(guān)于賬號(hào)的資金問(wèn)題。
在郵件中，亞馬遜明確告訴你，根據(jù)聯(lián)邦法庭的要求，你賬號(hào)里的資金被暫扣了，需要你去和權(quán)利人協(xié)商。
如果說(shuō)在之前因?yàn)樯嫦忧謾?quán)的處理都是在亞馬遜系統(tǒng)內(nèi)進(jìn)行的話，那么現(xiàn)在這封郵件則超出了亞馬遜的范疇，已經(jīng)上升到法律糾紛的事務(wù)了。
有賣(mài)家聯(lián)系了亞馬遜郵件中提供的權(quán)利人聯(lián)系方式，得到如下的回復(fù)：

在權(quán)利人的回復(fù)中，權(quán)利人要求賣(mài)家簽署一份協(xié)議，同意支付凍結(jié)款項(xiàng)的50%作為補(bǔ)償，以此來(lái)達(dá)成和解。
顯然，這會(huì)超出大部分賣(mài)家的心理底線了。
有賣(mài)家懷疑這是否會(huì)是一種新型的詐騙，我覺(jué)得詐騙倒未必，但這一定是一波類(lèi)似于每年都會(huì)爆發(fā)幾次的Paypal釣魚(yú)事件中的專(zhuān)利流氓律師事務(wù)所的行為。
一些律師事務(wù)所，通過(guò)整合代理很多品牌的法律事務(wù)，然后專(zhuān)門(mén)針對(duì)各個(gè)平臺(tái)涉嫌侵權(quán)的賣(mài)家進(jìn)行集中起訴，他們抓住中國(guó)賣(mài)家對(duì)美國(guó)法律的不熟悉以及在美國(guó)進(jìn)行法律程序的高額律師費(fèi)用，來(lái)對(duì)這些賣(mài)家索取賠償。
我們雖然痛恨這種流氓律所的所為，但是，面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)，勢(shì)單力薄的賣(mài)家確實(shí)沒(méi)有太多騰挪的空間，所以，在此，我也只能提醒各位賣(mài)家，在實(shí)際運(yùn)營(yíng)中，盡可能的小心謹(jǐn)慎，避免侵權(quán)行為的發(fā)生。畢竟，不涉及侵權(quán)的產(chǎn)品很多，在正常的運(yùn)營(yíng)中出現(xiàn)侵權(quán)糾紛，對(duì)于賣(mài)家來(lái)說(shuō)，確實(shí)是一件得不償失甚至可能導(dǎo)致大傷元?dú)獾氖虑椤?br />
因?yàn)榍謾?quán)導(dǎo)致的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)已經(jīng)開(kāi)始升級(jí)了，賣(mài)家們一定要更加小心謹(jǐn)慎。
