the customers who purchased the book from Amazon are not pirates. they believed they were buying legitimate offerings. Amazon is not a pirate because they were selling what was thought to be legitimate offerings. The publisher of the 1984 version in question is not a pirate because they believed they were legitimately allowed to sell the work in question to those customers. when the mistake was found both amazon AND the publisher stopped offering the work to those customers in that location. the publisher, however innocently the mistake was made, probably would have been fined by which ever agency is responsible for that sort of thing had it been the agency that found the error.
Amazon should never have the right to go back in to the individual devices and claw back the books. You sell me the book and find out later you shouldnt have, you can ASK for it back. but Im under no obligation to do so. If you come to my house and TAKE the book well thats just stealing.
