people not reading what they're agreeing to, which says very, very explicitly that you are buying a license, not a copy. Which is hardly Amazon's fault.
Glad we cleared that up.
Amazon (or anyone else) not making it very clear what you are actually buying.

Cuz, you know. "Kindle Content is licensed, not sold, to you by the Content Provider." is *so* complicated and confusing that no adult could possibly be expected to understand it. Unless, of course, they actually
read it before
agreeing to it.

If it wasn't obvious that putting a knife between somebody's ribs and taking their wallet was illegal we wouldn't have so many muggings, either. Is that somehow the victim's fault? It's in the damned license, in very plain english. If you don't read what you agree to before you agree to it, that's
not Amazon's fault, that's
your fault.
