I'm sorry, Stingo, but I don't follow you. Why would you
want Amazon to leave illegal content on your Kindle if they discovered that it had been illegally uploaded? That could leave you
personally liable to prosecution for copyright infringement. I know that I would certainly want such material to be automatically removed, both because it the "right" thing to do, and because of the legal implications of not doing so.
