The Evils of DRM

Apparently Amazon reserves the right to delete user accounts and wipe Kindles remotely, as reported by the following blog post:

Martin Bekkelund: Outlawed by Amazon DRM

“A couple of days a go, my friend Linn sent me an e-mail, being very frustrated: Amazon just closed her account and wiped her Kindle. Without notice. Without explanation. This is DRM at it’s worst.”

(Via Daring Fireball)

I suspect Amazon’s behaviour is illegal. But apart from legal considerations…

Does it need more to conclude that you should never even consider buying content “protected” with DRM?
