Look, it will not help arguing endlessly about it. I think yes, others think not, and the only thing certain is that most of us obviously don't have a clue.
Why don't you talk to a lawyer? Contact the EFF, and see if you have a case, or if they think Amazon did you a big favor. Once they say there is a case, people can decide to join or not.
I'd come back after I have an answer
I copied the following from
http://www.eff.org/about/contact
"EFF is a small, grassroots legal advocacy nonprofit supported by member contributions. We provide pro bono (free) legal assistance in cases where we believe we can help shape the law. Unfortunately, we have a relatively small number of very hardworking attorneys, so we do not have the resources to defend everyone who asks, no matter how deserving. If we cannot assist you, we will make every effort to put you in touch with attorneys who can. If you're in trouble, you can contact us at
information@eff.org."
