But is it a "legal side effect"?

And I thought we were talking about Amazon who I don't believe are on the brink of going out of business, are they?

No arguments from me about a company's right to choose not to allow new purchases from any customer if they so wish. Nor about the common sense of backing up your digital content immediately if you know how.

I find the wishy washy responses pdurrant has had so far to be disturbing. Are we to believe a company this large, this slick and this dominant in digital retailing has really never considered the implications of closing accounts before now? Seriously?
