This had nothing to do with "piracy". Lendle wasn't doing anything illegal, as far as I can see. The only thing they "violated" was Amazon's business model. Amazon certainly isn't required to support them, but it's also probably not the smartest move to try and stop them. I'm sure a certain percentage of the Lendle users will probably end up on real "piracy" sites now.
