Nah, they did what they felt they needed to do. Knowledge is power. Amazon knew how to remove the book from Kindle and they did. The only rights anyone has is determined by the knowledge they have. That's the only law of right. The act itself will always please some and annoy others. No matter what the decision. Bezos is clever. First he acts to please the copyright holders, then he apologizes to please the Kindle users. He plays both sides, using his knowledge to win. Everyone should do the same. Use your knowledge to keep the books on your machine, then apologize to the dissenters if anyone complains to you.
