Unless they were responding to a court order. I was thinking about the situation in the US when the Bush Administration demanded a list of who borrowed certain books from libraries throughout America. Or a search comparing the copyrighted books on our Kindles against the books we bought from Amazon, since Amazon is the only place you can get AZW encrypted books.
I hope this never happens but I'm just wondering if the possibility of it isn't a concern.
