Um... yeah!
Here was the canned response I got when I sent an email protesting the DMCA abuse. (For what it is worth, I wasn't protesting DRM -- just Amazon's efforts to restrict where we purchase our DRM content for the Kindle...

Thanks for sending us your comments about Digital Rights Management for Amazon Kindle content. Publishers choose whether or not they apply DRM to their content, and when they do, we respect and protect that DRM. Today you can read books purchased from the Kindle Store on Kindle, Kindle 2, the iPhone, and the iPod touch.
Please see the information posted in the License Agreement and Terms of Use and the Kindle Store:

Due to the nature of DRM, we do not comment on individual situations where we are protecting the DRM that publishers choose to have.
Your comments and questions help us continue to improve the service we provide, and we appreciate the time you took to write to us.
Thanks for your interest in Amazon Kindle.
