Amazon makes two claims as to why they kicked wikileaks. The first, is this portion of their TOS: "you represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content"
It is clear that many of their customers do not own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content they host on Amazon's servers. For instance, take tarsnap or SmugMug. They both host clients' property on Amazon servers. Now, while those companies may control some of the rights to the information they are storing , it is clear that those companies do not own nor control "all rights" to that content. SmugMug cannot legally license or resell my photos to others, for example.
As for their claim that it puts people in danger, they cite not a single confirmed case where this has happened.
