Topic 2: Amazon Copied Best-Selling Products and then
Rigged their Search Result
Meme for this: From the movie Casablanca . . . "I’m shocked - shocked I tell you.”
Question: Even though this is India, does it affect how our Congress will try to hold Amazon accountable?

Topic 3: Convergence of AV and IT . . .
