Excellent article. I agree with him 100%.
Just because the device allows wireless connectivity doesn't mean the vendors require God rights to it. Customer's shouldn't have to disable wireless access to get vendors to respect their ownership of the data.
- RIM shouldn't be able to delete an email from my Blackberry because it contains illegal information
- Apple shouldn't be able to delete music from my iTunes library because Britney stole Madonna's melody
- Motorola shouldn't be able to delete illegal pictures that I took on my cell phone at a music concert
The issue isn't that Amazon tried to hit the "undo" button on the transaction and make it go away (although that was bad). It's also not a question if the book was legal or not. The problem is that they have the capability to do it and I'm glad to see all the articles questioning it.
