And yes, DMCA tramples all over fair use. It strips my right to access content that I have legally purchased. It essentially means that when I buy a book, the bookstore or the publisher can walk into my house any day they feel like it and cut the pages out of the book. Sorry, Ricky, we've decided you can no longer read that book. Too bad you paid for it. And, no you can't have a refund.

Can someone who has already written to Amazon Kindle Support, please do so again and ask if they can see the content on a Kindle via Whispernet if they so desire?
It does look like the DMCA tramples fair use. But this has not yet been an issue in a court of law. And I think it needs to go to court to get it settled once and for all. And if it did go to court, I do think the EFF would be sending lawyers to help the side of fair use.
