Is Amazon the new Apple?
tomos:
On their developer blog, Amazon responded the following day, stating simply that the policy in question was from a dated text file, and that a PDF elsewhere on the site contained the correct terms.
The response seems fishy. The IGDA's letter states that they reached out to Amazon several times and that Amazon were unwilling to change terms. If it were simply a matter of referencing the wrong terms, surely they would have pointed that out. Secondly, Amazon's response doesn't actually address the concerns stated in the IGDA letter. Even taking Amazon's 'correction' into account, many of the IGDA's concerns still seem valid.-http://www.kimpallister.com/2011/04/implications-of-amazon-igda-spat.html

This is conceptually on topic - planned obsolescence.

The way that Amazon will remove your product that you've purchased is conceptually analogous to planned obsolescence. It's just the digital version of it.
Anyways, it's an excellent video for anyone that is interested. If you watch it, it will become more apparent how/why I'm comparing things that way.

Me too, but fortunately I was skimming so it didn't fully register all at once.
