It's wrong and should be illegal for Amazon to make it possible for itself to remove content (illegal or otherwise) from your device.
If they did not go out of their way to make this technically doable, no lawyer in the world could get them convicted for not doing the impossible.

But it is doable, and there's no backing out of that (which is why Amazon's apparently new policy confuses me). In-fact for all the kerfuffle about this, the Kindle is designed for the non-computer literate, which means as much as can be done automatically without user intervention should be done. So we get automatic downloads, updates and deletions, it's in the very nature of the device.
Further, if Amazon knows they sold me something they didn't have the right to, though actually the illegitimate publisher did, then they have an obligation to rectify the situation, that includes removing the offending content.
