order to reactivate the Kindle - albeit without Linn's well-established library of digital content - would be met with instant closure as well. It wasn't until the story started to get picked up by press that Amazon felt the need to vary its stance, releasing a statement that "account status should not affect any customer's ability to access their [Kindle] library," and releasing Linn's books - although maintaining her ban from buying any new titles. "This highlights the dangers with DRM. When you buy a product with DRM, you haven't really bought it because the supplier can take it away from you at any time," claimed Andy Robinson, spokesman for the anti-DRM group Pirate Party UK, of Amazon's move. "Similarly, when you buy a locked down device such as Amazon's Kindle or Apple's iPhone or iPad, you're never in control. Let the buyer beware." Thus far, Amazon has still failed to identify the precise portion of its terms and conditions which Linn - or an account somehow linked with Linn - broke to receive the lifetime ban, with author Cory Doctorow suggesting that it may have been the result of the Norwegian Linn buying books from the Amazon.co.uk bookstore, something frowned upon by Amazon.
