As most answers in this thread show, it is only an attempt to exercise raw power, most people don't accept arbitrary, one sided, unfair rules. In the end, I don't blame the sellers like Amazon, they were probably forced to write up those "rules" by the publishers and their own legal departments. And if Amazon itself felt everybody would follow those rules, why even have their own DRM?
