That is........
Something that may or may not be legal but is certainly infringing upon the rights of the other party.

Nope. These "people" didn't do anything "bad" to the author, they paid money and received the book file in exchange.
My whole point is, that there are ample legal remedies for the copyright holder to be made whole.
Instead, Amazon took a "shortcut" and reached into such people's Kindles, and removed their legally obtained files. The legality of this action is at least dubious, the EULA notwithstanding (and I don't even know what it says on the subject, just like 99.999% of those who purchased a Kindle.)
Again, at least in the US, there are well-established legal procedures for copyright holders to defend their rights, and to be compensated if a court decides so. Do you understand this?
Or, do you have a problem with these established practices, and believe that large corporations have a better way of dispensing "justice," even if extralegal?
