They already have the courts permission, by way of settled law.

The only part of the Amazon scenario I'm curious about is the deleting of files off the device remotely (a la the 1984 incident).

I'm surprised that's allowed. They can certainly deny ACCESS to the content...change the DRM key, etc, and they can certainly prevent you from accessing their systems again, but I'm surprised they're allowed to delete the actually data off a hardware device that you do in fact own, regardless of TOS.
