Count me in
Chris, unless you had notes on the books in question you don't know what happened and you are simply speculating that when you delete something you are doing exactly what Amazon did. Amazon more than likely has much more access than you do when using their system and it wouldn't surprise me if they in fact do have the ability to delete annotations when deleting a book, even if you can't do it when you delete a book. But either way I don't know for sure and NEITHER do you. Regardless, even if he still has the notes they have very little relevance without the markup to put them in the location in the book he annotated them. Annotations are often short and without the context of location quickly become meaningless. Even if he has the notes the effort to re-associate them to the correct location isn't going to be trivial. That alone is worthy of suit, but if in fact they did delete annotations as well he has a very strong copyright claim. IMO even if he does still have the notes the loss of location information is a severe alteration of a copyrighted work and still a rather strong claim. Either way I wish him success and a large verdict. Such a verdict would put the fear into any other retailer expecting to do the same thing and would alter the marketplace in a better
Do his homework? If he did that he wouldn't be making inane comments on here about articles he didn't read and news stories he knows nothing about. Lack of an education makes people stupid, he didn't bother to get his education when it was offered to him at no cost and the result is before you.
Nicotine isn't soluable in water. It's not water vapor. It's ethylene glycol vapor or tolulene vapor or methanol vapor all very toxic chemicals that are clear. Clear doesn't mean safe. I'll take the tar in cigarette's any day over inhaling whatever chemical cocktail they are using to put nicotine into solution then vaporize it.

Dish is different because they let Tivo come in show them the system, give them a demo unit and examine a copy of the software, extend the negotiations for 6 months leading Tivo on. Ultimately tell Tivo no, and announce their new non-Tivo DVR within a month of telling Tivo no, which ironically looks almost identical to the Tivo unit and operates almost the same. They took advantage of negotiations to steal the technology and software involved and then build their own in house.
It's not just sneaky, do it in Nevada and you'll get a trip to the county jail. It's a felony to count cards in Nevada using an electronic device.
When I was 16, I used the drive through at Baskin Robbins.

I note that I'd had my license only a few months and Baskin and Robbins didn't have a drive through. My foot wasn't trained very well and instead of hitting the brake I hit the gas when parking and ended up parking my car inside the store. It even made the paper.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
