Nineteen Eighty Four will not enter the US public domain until 2044, and in the European Union until 2020, although it is in the public domain in Canada, Russia, and Australia. On July 17, 2009, Amazon withdrew certain Amazon Kindle titles, including Nineteen Eighty Four, from sale, refunded buyers, and removed the items from the The Amazon Store after discovering that the publisher lacked rights to publish the titles in question, the ironic result of 1984 having been put into a Memory Hole. After this removal, upon syncing with their Amazon libraries, items from purchasers devices were likewise "removed" due to the syncing process. Notes and annotations for the books made by users on their devices were also deleted. After the move prompted outcry and comparisons to Nineteen Eighty Four itself, Amazon spokesman Drew Herdener stated that the company is "changing our systems so that in the future we will not remove books from customers devices in these circumstances." -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on February 11, 2010, 10:26 am - (1 votes)
