and 1984 - an irony?

amazon kindle

Hello. This is my first post.
Let me share with you. I found this shocking news and then make a personal comment where reality imitates fiction ...

Amazon and Kindle seems to have problems, like any mortal, with copyright. Amazon went on sale for electronic reader two works of George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm, without having the rights to do so, it seems that by using the platform of another party (if you can not trust anyone) . What could be a simple story solved diplomatically, such as acquiring rights or placed in contact with customers, since Amazon has committed error and should not be paid by users acted correctly, it has become a scandal that could happen only in a book of Orwell. Amazon's solution has been, nothing more and nothing less, remote access devices to its customers and clear the books in question.

This action, which eliminates the little desire I had bought a Kindle, we face up to what extent we can allow the conditions of use of a product giving access to such personal aspects of our lives such as our library, because, although it is clear Amazon knows what books you bought and, therefore, which make up your shelf, the fact that a company or government can access and manipulate our data it seems to me deplorable. So sacred are the copyright? Or is it that when purchasing a Kindle and sign a service contract (long, cumbersome and full of clauses) we are giving our firstborn Without even realizing it?

Just as David Pogue, the New York Times:

Amazon's action is so severe and unprecedented as a bookstore employee entered the night in our house, will take two books off shelves and leave us a check in the kitchen

So if you have a Kindle or are thinking of buying one, keep in mind that Amazon seems determined to do good to prevent Microsoft or Google will go to the dark side.

However, those who have read 1984 will recall that the action is situated in a totalitarian state where power is absolute and unique.
Monitoring the "state" takes hold of life and consciousness of citizens. All controlled by the figure of Big Brother.
Moreover, the past is rewritten in permanently erasing what had happened and replace it with a reality most favorable to power.
This is the boss who sees all, hears all and offers ....
It is an irony that Amazon has taken action to similar to the one that takes the Big Brother of the book that just erased from the Kindle. Or is it a coincidence??
