Big Brother Amazon

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Fresh from the Forge of Grand Irony comes the recent story about disappearing E-Books from Amazon.com.   Seriously, this is rich.  It seems that those running the Amazon’s digital publishing system, Kindle, decided that certain books needed to be recalled and they simply deleted these titles from people’s accounts.  In short, it was a Digital Rights Management (DRM) fiasco, which should be criticized by every sane individual in the world.  What makes it ironic, are the titles involved.

David Pogue has a nice summation of the insanity.
