Doesn't matter the reason why Amazon no longer wants to deal with the customer -- Amazon certainly has a right to not sell goods to someone who violates its policies or abuses them -- but that does not give Amazon the right to block access to already bought and paid-for items.

Actually, I agree with you, but that is what Amazon do, nonetheless. Given that they employ whole armies of lawyers, I would imagine that it is legal.
I think you have to be a pretty serious abuser for this to happen. IIRC, the person who came on MR a while ago and moaned about it had bought and returned something like 3 large-screen TVs and 6 digital SLRs in the preceding few months.
