It's making a copy on someone else's computer. Copyright law doesn't address who has access to the copies; it just says you're not allowed to make copies without permission.
You did say, "You have no right to use someone else's work without their permission." By that logic, if they don't give you permission to copy it to Amazon's servers, then you don't have that right.
(In reality: you do have the legal right to use someone else's work without their permission, within certain limitations. That's what fair use is all about. Advocates for Amazon's cloud storage will insist that these copies -- whole copies of entire songs, books, and movies -- are within the scope of fair use.)
