Moreover, when you buy a Kindle, the purchase page has an opt-out option "Register to my account." So if you don't uncheck that when buying and you've already saved your WiFi info to your account, there you go. I suspect for most people it's a convenience. Certainly you don't have to go through the nuisance of turning off your router if you don't want it to update.

Always with Amazon, you need to be very sure what you're buying when you click the buy button. Many inadvertently sign up for Prime, as another example. I'm not saying that all this isn't dubious or taking advantage of customers, because it is, but accusing Amazon of illegal uploads and stealing is a step way too far when it was a failure of due diligence on your part.
