Outlawed by Amazon DRM

Why oh why would anyone spend any amount of money on goods that can be made to vanish at the whim of the priovider? That's exactly what you sign up for when you buy DRM-encumbered content in a closed environment, like (say) Amazon Kindle. And what appears to have happened to this Amazon customer could happen to you: all her Kindfle books were wiped out and her account shut down. Amazon's explanation? "We have found your account is directly related to another which has been previously closed for abuse of our policies." One wonders, what account, what abuse, and what policies? But no more information is forthcoming. Due process, thy name is not DRM. Via Copyfight.
