High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! VolleyHut.com is an online retailer of volleyball products. In 2000, VolleyHut was among several companies that protested strongly against Amazon.com`s patent relating to affiliate programs. Company owner Charlie Jackson challenged Amazon.com, saying "I have a small e-commerce site, VolleyHut.com, that sells volleyball equipment. I have an affiliate relationship with Volleycentral.com. I will continue to maintain the affiliate program, despite your patent. The reason is that I know you will not try to actually stop me, because your patent will not hold up in court if I decide to fight it, which I would. So, now you have been notified that someone is violating your patent. What are you going to do about it?" Amazon.com took no action against VolleyHut.
