White background = Pay royalty to Amazon

This is just ridiculous:

Here is a link to a patent filed by Amazon for shooting products on a white background.

I started doing this in 1968, and there were others before me.

What the *7%$?

Maybe, if you don't use ISO 320 and F 5.6 you won't be violating the patent.

Are you sure it ain't a late April fools joke. They must be insane..... surely?

Stephen Colbert was making fun of this on his show
