I know it's standard procedure to criticize EVERYTHING on the internet, but at least read the freakin' link before replying.
And if companies like Amazon and B&N didn't keep track of your purchases then people would be in an uproar if/when it came time to redownload already purchased content. Can't win everyones approval.

Can't wait for the next article about ebook privacy to come around "Which companies use your credit card details to process your purchase transactions". I can see it now.
Amazon: Yes: Everytime you purchase an ebook.
B&N: Yes: Everytime you purchase an ebook.
Sony: No: Only when using their ebook store.
