Amazon settles lawsuit filed by a Kindle user
Justin D. Gawronski had filed a lawsuit against Amazon when the company remotely removed an eBook from his Kindle reader.
Amazon had in fact removed two ebooks from all the Kindles which had them rightfully purchased from the Kindle Store.
The company later clarified that the ebook was sold without permissions from the copyrights holders.
Amazon has now stated that they would not remotely delete content from the Kindle users without getting permissions from them.
The company has also agreed to pay $150,000 in legal fees. This money would be donated to charities.
This would still require an approval from a court judge. But we hope this is the end of the whole mess that Amazon created in the first place.
