I think the part that really pissed everyone off is the manner which it was done and the fact that, while the illegal copies broke copyright, it isn't Amazon who owns it. What probably should have been done (and would have been done, if it weren't for DRM/TOS) is that the book be removed from Amazon. Rather than to remove all the infringed copies right from under the noses of Kindle owners and essentially make them realize what exactly they signed up for when they got a Kindle.
