Orwell turns up in 2009.

Yep, friggin' Big Brother rears his ugly head...
Amazon Dot Com remotely nuked two George Orwell novels, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, from its Kindle eBook readers last week when their publisher decided that they no longer wanted to distribute the books electronically.

Hey, all you contemporary Adolf Hitler types, once I pay for it, the book is mine and you can’t just burn it at the stake even if it’s only a virtual stake on the electronic wilderness. And no post-mortem apology does any good, by the way…

Pull a Nancy Reagan and just say no to Kindle!
Pull a Nancy Reagan and just say no!
Pull a Nancy Reagan!
