Who is going to complain to Amazon for erasing ebooks they "found" on the internet?

It's just a theory.
If and only if they can prove that I did not legitimately obtain the ebook from another source, could such removal be possibly justified. The content wiped from my Kindle was from Kobo, Baen, SmashWords, Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks plus a few books that I had worked on and not removed from my Kindle. If I did not have them in my calibre library, I damn well would have screamed more loudly than just reporting the issue to Amazon.

My personal opinion is more on the lines of Hanlon's razor.
