Re: Stormy's update: Week of July 13th

    Another problem with trying to find an issue here is that, depending on
    the point of view, Amazon acted within their own Terms (point iii under
    "Subscriptions").

Legally, that would make a difference; ethically, it is beside the
point.  Some people are willing to sign away their freedom for some
sort of convenience.  In societies where appreciation of freedom is
weak, many people may be willing to do this -- especially when unjust
laws such as the DMCA and the EU Copyright Directive forbid the
existence of an equally convenient alternsative,

We cannot accept proprietary software as legitimate merely because
users at some point said yes to the license agreement.
