The law suit was probably the least of their worries. It was a kid complaining about losing his notes for a school book report. The awful publicity and the threat of losing a ton of money is what will prevent Amazon or any of the other e-readers from doing it again.
I don't believe any one was defending them. I believe that the eye rolls and posts were in the "It happened once, it is not a pattern of behavior, others can do the same thing, why are we discussing this many years after the fact" vein.
ie Amazon screwed up, said so, it has not happened again, so why is it being brought up many years after the fact? I would not want a new e-reader user or someone looking into buying an e-reader thinking that this is a common practice for any company, because it is not, or that this happened last week, because it didn't.
That is like the people who post that they wouldn't get the current Sony Touch because of the glare problems the Sony had. People rightly say that those issues existed for a model two generations ago and were solved with the 650 line.
