To be frank, a lot of the comments on http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=720779 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=720779 that you made were not "thoughtful comments that people disagreed with". They were sophomoric. I read through most of it, and didn't vote one way or another, but my take away from it was: people kept pointing out some very obvious things, namely that even within the legal framework that is setup by our copyright laws, there's still a very wide berth of behavior that ranges from tolerable to asinine. Even taking the legal copyright framework into account, Amazon behaved asininely, and that is what Bezos was apologizing for. You stuck to your argument about legality even when it no longer made logical sense, which is just a hairline away from trolling.
