So, I guess, most of the time, it works out. This article indicates that Amazon doesn't want to put too many resources into fighting this problem. If it gets bad enough, I could definitely see a parallel system not associated with Amazon.com which has stronger security measures than Amazon is willing to implement. For example, it could have the "correct" ratings rather than planted ones. And, if that doesn't work, maybe people will just start abandoning Amazon all together. Which may be for the best.
