Err, we are aware that the content was being illegally sold, right? I can understand the creepy in the recall aspect, but sounds like Amazon were doing more or less the right thing here.

Though, really, they should have caught it before it got this far.

I thought George Orwell was in the public domain - in which case, while the code may have been owned by someone, the content certainly was not.

My mistake: it's public domain in Canada but not in the States.
