Happily go about infringing upon the rights of others by acquring copyrighted works by other authors without paying for them.

I am not saying they infringed Orwell or Rand. I am not saying they did anything "bad" in this instance. They have, however, advocated, in other instances, doing something essentially the same as Amazon did in this instance.
You are suggesting that some of the people who feel that the Amazon corporation shouldn't violate individual's property rights are people who would be willing to (far less directly) violate another person's (non-property) rights... Ok. And therefore... what?

They are naughty and ought to be denounced as such? (I'm amicable to that.)

Or they ought to be stripped of their personal property rights? (Less amicable to this.)

Or perhaps be jailed in one of the federal sexual molestation camps? (If we do this one, people might just say we've overreacted!)
