Actually, the company that did it was operating entirely legally in Canada, where the books in question are not longer under copyright.

Ah so it was a jurisdictional foul up based on copyright law as pertaining geographical differences as well then. Proof that there should be a universal copyright law perhaps. I agree it wasn't right for Amazon to just pull books remotely like they did though it's a moot point in the case of 1984 since they did do it. Hopefully the resulting backlash will have persuaded them not to do so again anyway.
