Perhaps you might consider consumer protection legislation? I did bounce this off a lawyer a while back and in her opinion, under Canadian consumer protection legislation, Amazon could be held guilty of false or misleading advertising by supplying a DRMmed product when a DRM free product is promised.
Please note that Amazon does not supply any quibbling, just that at the publisher's request, this ebook is being supplied without DRM.
Perhaps you could let us know how a line stating that at the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM could be construed as suggesting that supplying a DRMmed version of the ebook is okay?
So you would be okay if you bought a car that stated in the advertising that it came with a "Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission" and it was delivered with a 4 speed manual transmission? After all, you ordered in slate blue rather than white.
