I keep seeing the statements about 1984 being "legally purchased."
That is not exactly true. I have read and thought about this.
If you purchase a boat from a seller for $1,000, give the seller a check, get a receipt, and then it turns out the boat was stolen, the police can come, get the boat from you, return it to the man it was stolen from, and arrest the seller. It is up to you and the courts to reclaim your $1,000 from the seller. You don't get to keep the boat.
Likewise if a airline oversells a seat on a plane, you may not get that seat.
I could go on.
It may be that some still have 1984 from the Amazon mishap and if so they have it illegally, and despite Amazon's best efforts. If they received the $30 for the mishap, and also have 1984 still, they have it immorally as well.
Amazon owned up to its mistake and tried to do the right thing. Has everyone else done the right thing?
