Massive Amazon Fail

Thursday, May 14th, 2009
by Matt Hartley

I don’t know for sure if this issue with published blogs on the Kindle is still a problem, but one thing is for sure: Amazon has a PR nightmare on its hands if one is still able to copy blog content on the Kindle for sale as easily as it was described in this article.

Publishing blogs to the Kindle was supposed to be a convenience to the users, however, the problem of people being able to take this only to fake the blogs being published themselves created a massive headache for blog owners and Amazon alike. Frankly, if I were a blog owner and my content was being pirated, I might be inclined to hold Amazon responsible.

But it is also possible that I am overreacting. After all, it is possible that Amazon has learned a valuable lesson with this. Hit the comments and let me know what you think about this situation where the Kindle was seeing faked blog feeds being used. Is this a dangerous thing or just silly?
