Amazon.com dystopian nightmare has come to a close. Today, the company settled the class action suit brought against it for deleting copies of “1984″ from users’ Kindles. The cost? A mere $150,000.
The real victory in this settlement is the stipulations Amazon made, stipulations which may go a long way to address users’ concerns over the company’s apparent ability to remotely delete books from Kindle devices. Specifically Amazon stipulated it will not remove books in the future, unless:
- the consumer requests it or fails to pay;
- it is required by a court or regulator to do so; or
- it’s necessary to protect to Kindle or the network.
