If you are not blocked, you fix your Kindle or
get a replacement and your backup is just there
for you. It's only if you are an Amazon Non Person
that you have no backup.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If the reports are correct, Amazon could be in a lot of trouble in the UK and
European Courts. They don't work the US way and click through EULAs have no
contractual force.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

As I understood it, Amazon's problem is that the woman was downloading books in
Norway that Amazon had no permission to sell as ebooks in Norway. She was
apparently giving a fake UK address to get around that. Since the author
retained the copyrights for Norway, she was potentially cheating the authors.
The authors should be able to choose what rights they want to license in Norway
and under what terms. If Amazon had allowed her to download the ebooks, that
would have probably broken Norwegian copyright law, since downloading probably
legally counts as copying in Norway.
I don't have a lot of sympathy for the woman since she knew what she was doing
wasn't allowed and she used a fake address to get away with it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
