There was no way for me to intervene and get my 200 bucks back, either. So, you're saying because the Amazon thing was all done electronically it was somehow more sinister than my own bank, that holds more than 100,000 of my dollars btw, not only confiscating my $200, but turning me in to the police when they most certainly realized I knew little more where that money came from then they did or I certainly wouldn't have brought it to them.

1984ish ... it was the fact that the technology supported remote
deletion of the any book for any reason without the user's ability to
intervene.
