Class action, I know...
But still, here we've got a specific case.
And from a distance I clearly have to say, it seems construed.
Indirectly might be helping to clarify the entire situation: DRM, owning or just renting/leasing, ....
And back to the specific case: I agree, Amazon's action was stupid and quite unexpected. Somehow I'm kind of glad, not having Whispernet anyway.
But the entire discussion about damages seems ridiculous to me.
Might be the dooropener, as I said. But the case itself...
And again: What will be the consequences, if he actually might win? There may be punitive damages. Amazon may change it's behaviour. But first of all, Amazon will increase the prices to recover (if it would be a significant penalty).
And again: I'd hate to pay more, just because of a ridiculous lawsuit and -I repeat it- a fool who simply was sloppy and now tries to blame someone else.
Or do you think, this guy is a knight in shining armor, fighting for the higher good?
