I know what they are objecting to.
They are objecting to something Amazon did that may or may not be illegal and that they feel infringed upon their personal rights.

Not confusing the issue at all. I'm comparing it to their advocacy of copyright infringement.
Lets see, they advocate something that may or may not be legal and that clearly does infringe upon an authors rights. Sound a tad familiar?

Not finding the complaints themselves hilarious. I'm finding the duality of thought that says Amazon should not infringe upon consumers rights but it is ok for consumers to infringe upon authors rights to be hilarious.
