You have a license to play it on your own hardware. But when Amazon's hardware comes into play, they need a license.
I mean, it's sort of like giving a file to a friend, and then when you want to hear the song, you call him up and ask him to play it for you over the phone. That might be okay if you physically loaned him a cd (though it might actually qualify as a broadcast, so probably not), but if you just made a copy...
Legally, anyway. Morally, if you bought a song, you should be able to listen it to however you want.

I see what you're saying, but is it really any different to buying a song and storing it yourself on a service like "Dropbox"?
