Justified or not it does not correspond to the way justice work in the brick and mortar world.

If a person offends Sears by not paying their bill, Sears must get a court injunction to seize the property, or rely on collection agencies to recoup part of the payment. Same with a car dealer etc.

If a person steals an item from a store or individual they must go through the law if they want recourse. No law that I know of allows them to take other items legally purchased or not. Maybe the police can but the store cannot.

In no case have I heard of can a retailer just take back or block access to all of the items they have sold the person who doesn't pay or steals and perhaps those of others who may have used the offenders account to purchase.

I don't think the op is intentionally guilty, but it might be that the op may in some/all ways be to blame. I don't pretend to know and prefer to give the benefit of the doubt in this case.

I do think that Amazon (and overall I am an Amazon fan) is overstepping its bounds in this and other related instances. A disclaimer does not override laws that apply to brick and mortar businesses, or allow them to legally deny the buyer access to items they have purchased even if these items reside in the cloud.

Eventually their will be a big noise made and Amazon will back down. Probably too late for the op.
