I'm not sure what Amazon has done to make life difficult for people who like to figure out how things work. but any DRM scheme is designed to eliminate Fair Use rights of consumers and give the distributors a perpetual lock on copyright. In the US, Fair Use (Canada: Fair Dealing is similar) gives users certain rights to make copies (usually partial) of works without asking permission of the copyright holder. It's a big topic, and IANAL, and as users become content creators via remixing and documentaries, one that everyone needs to learn more about.
