Have seen some followup posts: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/why-did-amazon-close-a-womans-account-and-delete-all-her-kindle-books/ http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2012/10/rights-you-have-no-right-to-your-ebooks/index.htm I haven't read in detail yet, seems to be pure speculation. There is also this: https://p.6core.net/p/hx5voap6k84ndcrn Where Amazon try to claim the story is spam. Assuming this URL isn't spam itself :-) -- Brian May <br...@microcomaustralia.com.au> _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list Free-software-melb@lists.softwarefreedom.com.au http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb
