Amazon routinely delete content from Kindles. Everybody who buys a Kindle knows this - or does if they bother to read their user agreement. You sound as though it's a big surprise. It really isn't, you know.
Forgive me, Harry, but I think you are looking at this from the wrong perspective.

It's wrong and should be illegal for Amazon to make it possible for itself to remove content (illegal or otherwise) from your device.

If they did not go out of their way to make this technically doable, no lawyer in the world could get them convicted for not doing the impossible (i.e.: deleting your books).
