Update 2012-10-23: This story broke in the morning on Monday. In +the evening after the story had spread all across the Internet, Amazon +restored the account of the user, as reported by +digi.no +and NRK. +Apparently public pressure work. The story from Martin have seen +several twitter messages per minute the last 24 hours, which is quite +a lot, and is still drawing a lot of attention. But even when the +account is restored, the fundamental problem still exist. I recommend +reading two opinions from +Simon +Phipps and +Glen +Moody if you want to learn more about the fundamentals and more +details about the original story.
