I got both my AWS and Amazon accounts banned a few months ago, because I was living in Eastern Ukraine and ordered some books there in 2014 (before the postal services stopped working). Apparently, that address was saved somewhere and now it is under sanctions, even though I left that place in 2014. My Kindle library is gone because Amazon's support can't do anything about it.
I was mostly ignoring the fact DRM exists, because what could go wrong? Well, it was a refreshing reminder that our "R" in "DRM" are much more fragile than we got used to think when nothing bad happens for years. At least until we forget about it once again. That's it folks, gotta go buy a few limited use licenses on Steam while they're on sale!
