This is of course not limited to Google. Consider the case of someone who returned a television on the recommendation of the Amazon help desk, but that triggered their customer-has-returned-too-many-items --- which then disabled his access to his ebooks purchased through Amazon books.[1] And if that person was an entrepreneur using S3/EC2 for his idea for a new company, he could lose access to his Amazon virtual machines, too.

- Game_Ender 15y agoLast I checked it is possible to remove all the DRM from the Kindle e-books you buy and back them up in a portable format. It takes quite a few steps (utilizing a PID generator and MobiDeDRM), but I am sure you can automate the process.
