The fact of the matter is that there WAS official notification. You chose not to read it, and it appears based on what you say, that the Australian government will not allow T&C to be enforced. But that is a far different story than your claim that no official notification was made that the material will be locked down.
No bounce at all. An official notification is one that adheres to legal requirements, i.e., not one buried in fine print.

An official notification would have you tick a box as you made the purchase, indicating that the item had DRM. I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon and have never seen such a notice.

I just checked the first "Best Seller" listed. This is all it has in product description on the "One Click" purchase page. No mention of DRM. If it was to be "unhidden" here would be a good place to put it.
