I'm not always as clear as I should be.
I know we're supposed to be discussing the narrow topic of account closures and how they affect our digital media but it seems to me that in that situation the only practical difference between digital media and any other purchases is DRM, so it's hard to get very far into the discussion without bumping into that. And once there, it's hard not to think of other scenarios that would result in the loss of digital media for anyone who doesn't strip DRM for one reason or another.
And I know all that's not just Amazon, but Amazon has such a large part of the ebook market that most issues with digital libraries are going to involve Amazon.
