I'm a pretty simple kinda guy, and this is a complex issue.
From my POV: Amazon has a duty to ensure that they are NOT selling (or illegally distrubting) 'stolen' properties.
If they HAVE violated this, then they should be held accountable. I have no doubt Amazon has policies for just this sort of thing in pbooks and material objects.
I think that they should not be able to remove a copy from your Kindle, but should be able to immediatly stop futher sales. DRM (in theory) stops the illegal copy from being distributed. No problem.
However, (and I am so very not sure of this) IF it turns out that you are leasing the right to access the material, and Amazon revoke that right and pay recompense, then you are all up that creek. Whether or not you have actually read your agreement with Amazon (and I am sure there is one at least implied by buying and registering a Kindle device) is irrelivent, you did agree! (as did I , I have a Kindle in the house, 'gifted' to my household by an American friend)
Personally, I think your nuts to go "class action" if for no other reason than you seriously risk harsher condtions on E Book file in the future......
In Australia, this opinion and 40 cents gets you a local phone call.....
