Sorry for my ignorance.
Spoofing means to copy the identifying information from a one device to a another device. In your case, it would mean copying from a fully functional kindle to your banned kindle. You could think of it as a form of identity theft.

It is possible in some cases for amazon to see that two devices are using the same identity. Although technically possible, it falls into a legal area that may not be allowed in some countries. It would certainly be a bad idea to sell such a spoofed device.
