Pirated copies of 1984 and Animal Farm – two novels attacking socialism ironically were pulled by Amazon. Apparently, Amazon did not have the right to offer these books on Kindle. To Amazon’s credit they deleted the books and refunded the money. I applaud Amazon's effort to recognize the copyright.
