Amazon? Amazon doesn't own the content: the Right's Holder's do. Amazon is undoubtably acting due to contractual obligations they took upon themselves when they agreed to distribute and collect money for the digital works.
As with iTunes: Apple was not the enemy, DRM came off when the
Rights Holders allowed it to happen.
Bashing Amazon here accomplishes nothing except releasing useless heat and light. Tor, Doubleday, Random House... please take the battle to the
real supporters of DRM.
