Public bug reported: A legal issue has been raised in Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12265658&postcount=12 - people under the age of 18 may not use Amazon without parental agreement and alcohol listings have further requirements:
"If you are under 18, you may use the Amazon Services only with involvement of a parent or guardian. Alcohol listings on Amazon are intended for adults. You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase alcohol, or use any site functionality related to alcohol." as specified at http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId=508088 , under the your account section. Clearly, Ubuntu doesn't prevent minors (or people under 21) to use the shopping lens. ** Affects: unity-lens-shopping (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: legal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097517 Title: The shopping lens has a legal issue with Amazon's TOS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-shopping/+bug/1097517/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
