Amazon routines remove content from Kindles - this is well-known. Eg, they remove all subscription content that's older than a certain age.
What's the problem? Nobody's suffered any financial loss. If you want to "blame" someone, blame the people who uploaded the illegal content originally.

I think the problem is that Amazon has shown that they CAN and WILL delete books from YOUR Kindle at THEIR discretion. That is one hell of a line in the sand or slippery slope and they've crossed it/started down it. It doesn't matter to me what the problem is. If Amazon has sold you an illegal copy of a book then by all means they should refund you your money and ask you to delete said copy. But to actually go onto your system and do it for you? Without your knowledge or permission? That is just wrong. No matter what the cause.
