See:

	Amazon Erases Orwell Books from Kindle Devices
	http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18amazon.html?_r=1

which reads in part:

	Justin Gawronski, a 17-year-old from the Detroit area,
	was reading "1984" on his Kindle for a summer assignment
	and lost all his notes and annotations when the file
	vanished.  "They didn't just take a book back, they
	stole my work," he said.

Apparently some authors' rights are more equal than others.
