Amazon price games

Pretty sure it's them, was all over the news a while ago.

Banning people abuse the return system is a given, good for the rest of us, but deleting stuff people paid for is just wrong. If I were to pull some shenanigans and get myself to be banned from Walmart or Costco, it's not like they are going to come with a repo truck and take back everything I bought from them.

Just a good reminder to not buy any digital content you can't actually own (i.e. DRM free, or crack DRM and make local backup).

Huh, I was googling for something else but came across this, apparently amazon will ban your account for (what they deemed to be) too many returns and price matches. Not only you can't buy (obviously), you will lose access to all your e-books, music, apps, and gift card balance on that account.

Actually not only your account, but anyone at the same address, and anyone you've sent gift to.

Must be against the law to take away stuff you've already bought and your gift card balance, no? 

Wasn't it also Amazon who deleted books people had bought, because something was wrong with the copyrights?

Mmhmm, 1984, because it was sold by a third party that didn't have the right(?) to sale a digital copy of said book.
