Again--in all fairness--i think he was talking about that one specific incident long ago with Amazon. They handled it badly, and they apologized for it. It was uncharted territory. They promised never to handle that sort of situation in that manner again ... and so far they've kept that promise.
So while I agree that no one should rely on online retailers to maintain copies of their purchases indefinitely (and should make the effort to safeguard their purchases if they're concerned about them), I
do think it's time to stop throwing up that same, long ago, 1984 incident as a poster-child for the evilness of Amazon every time something of this nature comes up. It's not really very relevant anymore.
